The last time Georgia signed the top recruit from Arizona came in 2020. The Bulldogs secured a commitment from five-star defensive back Kelee Ringo.
Ringo, a Saguaro High School star, missed the 2020 college football season with a shoulder injury, but came back to make the biggest play of the national championship game when he returned an interception for a game-clinching touchdown against Alabama.
Now, Georgia football has offered a scholarship to class of 2024 four-star recruit Elijah Rushing. Georgia is always looking for players who can get after the quarterback. Rushing the passer is in top-ranked recruit in Arizona’s name.
Elijah Rushing is the No. 1 edge in the class of 2024 and the No. 21 overall recruit per 247Sports’ rankings. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound edge rusher plays high school football for Salpointe Catholic in Tucson, Arizona.
The four-star edge rusher is a good student with scholarship offers from Kentucky, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, UNC, California, and many more. Rushing has been invited to the 2024 Under Armour All-American Game.
