Hometown Five-Star Recruit Commits to Arizona in Major Upset

Arizona landed a commitment from consensus five-star defensive end Elijah Rushing, the school's first five-star signee.
Rushing chose Arizona over traditional powers like Oregon, Tennessee, and Notre Dame
Rushing is ranked the No. 27 player nationally and the No. 3 edge rusher in his class according to the 247Sports Composite.
Rushing's commitment highlights the potential for more parity in college football as top recruits don't always choose established powers.
Rushing's brother Cruz transferred to Arizona from Florida, helping the Wildcats' pitch.
