“Bush is highly athletic and plays with a ton of speed, power, and pursuit- he has a great first step/burst off the line of scrimmage, a ton of different pass rush moves he uses to beat OTs, and a motor he uses to make plays against the run and pass all game long.

Bush is a force off the edge- he constantly gets into the backfield to generate tons of pressure, force bad decisions, and rack up sacks. Bush is also great at stopping the run- he has great pursuit and closing speed, can fight off blockers, and is a reliable tackler that prevents big gains.“

Bush was dominant up front for Williamson’s defense last fall, ending his junior year with 72 total tackles (39 solo, 33 assisted, and 27 for loss), 13 sacks, 12 hurries, and 3 PBUs.

A little while back, Bush committed to Troy, giving them a dominant instate DL in their 2026 class.

Check out some of Bush’s tape below:

Last Friday, Bush announced on Twitter that he had committed to Troy! They’re getting a dominant addition in their 2026 class, it’ll be exciting watching Bush later this fall.

Dontaye Bush Dontaye Bush 6'5" | 215 lbs | DL Williamson | 2026 State AL is a dominant pass rusher out of Williamson who’s coming off his best season yet as a starter- he made game-changing plays against some talented offensive lines all of last fall. Williamson is highly athletic and plays with a ton of speed, power, and pursuit- he has a great first step/burst off the line of scrimmage, a ton of different pass rush moves he uses to beat OTs, and a motor he uses to make plays against the run and pass all game long. Bush is a problem off the edge- he constantly beats OTs into the backfield, generating tons of pressure, forcing bad decisions, and racking up sacks. Bush is also terrific at stopping the run- he has great pursuit and closing speed, can fight off blockers, and is a great tackler that prevents little to no yardage after first contact. Bush was dominant up front for Williamson’s defense last fall- ending his junior year with 72 total tackles (39 solo, 33 assisted, and 27 for loss), 13 sacks, 12 hurries, and 3 PBUs. With how well he played last fall Bush has had a great offseason recruiting-wise, picking up offers from North Alabama, Alabama State, and more. I was super impressed with Bush’s tape, which you can see below, give him a watch- he’s seriously talented and will pick up plenty more collegiate attention soon.
