Expert Analysis

Chris Smith

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

A ball hawk with great instincts, Rutherford had another strong high school football season but as we type this, the Panthers senior defensive back sits uncommitted, looking for a college landing spot. His recruitment has been interesting as Rutherford has added several FCS offers but has yet to break through that D1 ceiling, however he is definitely worthy of bigger looks. Size may be the biggest thing holding teams back from getting fully on board with this Memphis area product but Rutherford can play and he has proved it for multiple seasons against top competition. This defender will sign in February but right now it’s a question as to who it will be and what level.

For multiple years now, Rutherford has been as steady as they come at the defensive back position with his senior year possibly being his best yet. The Panthers senior prospect took his game to another level this Fall by displaying enhanced coverage skills on the outside while also continuing to boost his ball hawk mentality. The entire season, opponents had a hard time throwing against Rutherford due to his ability to place himself around the ball on a consistent basis. His versatility is what appeals to me the most. Rutherford could develop and stay on the outside at cover corner but also slide back to safety and play the back end with ease. Recruiting has started to pick up for this Memphis area product but as we have him rated inside the Top 10 defensive backs for the #TN2024 class, we feel his abilities and potential warrant bigger looks, so it will be curious to see where his recruitment goes from here.
