One of a deep array of dazzling and exciting RBs who currently reside in our PrepRedzoneMN 2027 rankings, especially in the Top 105, Anoka’s sophomore sensation is doing a great job of bringing some offensive representation to this Minnesota Hardest Hitters feature. Rush has made his impact felt on both Anoka’s program and the state’s 2027 class since he entered the freshman ranks two seasons ago, posting 29 rushes for 162 yards and 2 TDs in his introductory season to high school football. However, an offseason injury during a basketball game resulted in a torn ACL, and the 2024 season served as somewhat of a runway for Rush to get fully back to 100%, leading to the resurgence of UMD-bound linebacker Zach Welch Zach Welch 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Anoka | 2025 State MN as the Tornadoes RB1. Fortunately, Rushed showed he’s back and fully healthy and explosive at this past December’s PrepRedzoneMN Stock-Up Showcase, going nearly 30″ in the vert, 4.76 and 4.79 in the 40, 4.69 in the shuttle, and 9’1 and 9’5 on the broad jump. We’ve clocked him as high as 31″ on the vert and 7.32 on the L-drill, and he’s taken big strides and bettered his times since he was a freshman while coming in at a legit 190 pounds.

Rush’s sophomore tape has shades of pins trying to tackle the bowling ball, as he has reps of him plowing through tackle attempts and bouncing tackle attempts off him like a combine harvester with the rock in hand. He displays a massive truck stick that can sit down would-be tacklers with authority and great fight when he’s carrying the rock, with visible effort to toss, stiff-arm, and work through defenders like every carry was his last. Rush also shows noticeable burst when he sticks his cleat in the turf and works to get vertical, and effective jump cut and impressive lateral agility, and smooth and sudden COD and cuts. He sees and uses space well, does a good job of bouncing the ball outside and upfield when the opportunity presents itself, soft hands out of the backfield, and an ever-present physical edge as a tailback. Rush is 100% going to be a top contender for breakout RB of 2025 this upcoming fall.
