Rueschhoff had himself a game! He had 10 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack, and a 85-YD FF/FR touchdown throughout 3 quarters. Rueschhoff has very good athletic ability. He uses his very good acceleration to propel himself into the backfield or into this target. He has a quick twitch. On one play, he fooled the offensive line by slowing down his speed into like a walk, then snuck around them for the easy unblocked sack. On his fumble play, he went into the pile of players, ripped the ball from the RB’s hands, and returned it. He used his homerun speed ability to keep separation throughout the return. One thing about Cole that has improved this offseason is his change of direction and body movements. He has very controlled body movements, and showed off his shifty feet work while staying square. I’m consistently impressed by his ability to improve and play.

Having played for Mile High Prep this past spring, Rueschhoff balled out during the spring season. With 3 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 1 FR, and 1 Pick 6!

Rueschhoff puts himself in position to succeed. Very good block shedder, with very good quickness off the block and ability to disengage. Paired with his very good strength, and he’s a force on the field. I firmly believe after more people see his play, he will be getting D1 offers.

A high IQ linebacker with elite speed, Rueschhoff is a sideline to sideline defender who consistently makes plays all over the field. His ability to read and react allows him to shoot gaps and shut down the run, while his quickness off the edge makes him a legitimate pass rushing threat. With his skill set as a coverage backer, I believe that this makes him a versatile defender that is key to his teams success in pass defense. Rueschhoff finished the season with 72 total tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 1 fumble recovery. His strong performances at Prep Redzone camps have already turned heads, and he’ll look to carry that momentum into team camps this offseason.
