'24 AZ EDGE Elijah Rushing (Oregon commit)

“It was a great experience,” Rushing said of the official visit with the Vols. “You can ask any recruit that was here and they will tell you the same thing. This was a great experience, and I am glad I got to come back to Tennessee. This was a great OV.”
“I would say just the energy,” Rushing added on what stood out about the trip. “I would say it was the best photoshoot I have been to as far as energy wise. Just the camaraderie between the recruits and all of the players; that was probably the biggest thing.”
“Basically just learning more of the basics of the scheme and how it pertains to the LEO,” Rushing said of this conversation with the Tennessee coaches. “That is what they are looking at me as, so mainly just how I fit into that position and how important that is to the defense is and how the defense works off of that.I can see myself playing there. It matches my skillset.”
“It is definitely appealing to be on the come up of a program,” Rushing said of this having an appeal to him. “Any recruit would want to do that.”
“Before, when I took my first visit, it was a great visit but there were a lot of unknowns. This pretty much revealed the unknowns and gave me a good understanding of who they are and what they offer. It was very good for me to come out here and pay attention to them.”

“The OV was amazing!”
“The people and unity between all sports stood out to me, whether it was basketball or volleyball, everyone supported each other.”
“They all were incredibly down-to-earth and relatable,”
“The scheme aligns with my skillset, dropping into coverage and playing wide nine.
“They are a great option.”
 
Did he leave Saturday night or sunday? I saw reports with his quotes late last night. Typically, they dont come available until they are at the airport
 
#1 want of the remaining defensive targets.


Disclaimer: Franklin is already in the boat (unofficially)
Any combination of Franklin plus 2 of Ross/Rushing/Okoye would be a phenomenal DL haul. Hopefully we can land Singleton and Bates/Jones too. If we do with the way most of our defense has been developed (our DB development is still TBD though) we should have an elite defense in 2025. Hopefully Willie can get it together this season though. If not I feel like the guy we just hired could be a potential replacement after this season

I don’t think Willie lasts till next year. Who is the guy we hired? I would say we need to hire outside for the DB position.
