Ducks rise in recruiting rankings after landing 5-star EDGE Elijah Rushing
Dan Lanning is doing his job on the field and that was more evident this past weekend after Oregon clobbered Utah 35-6 in Salt Lake City.
But the second-year coach is also cleaning up off the field as he is poised to land Oregon’s best-ever recruiting class. The Ducks surged up the 247Sports’ recruiting rankings after receiving a verbal commitment from five-star defensive end/edge rusher Elijah Rushing out of Arizona.
The Tucson, Ariz. native was once committed to Arizona, but recently de-committed from the Wildcats and is set to sign with the Ducks. Rushing is the No. 1 EDGE rusher in the nation and the No. 8 overall player in the 2024 class, according to 247Sports.
