Expert Analysis
Hunter Tierney | Prep Redzone Scout
Rush Kamakeeaina is the kind of dual-threat that’s genuinely annoying to defend, not because of blazing track speed, but because of how sudden and slippery he is. That first step is real — he sees a crease, hits it instantly, and all of a sudden you’re asking a safety to win a one-on-one in space, which usually doesn’t end well for the defense. There’s a lot of confidence in the way he runs, and you can tell he trusts his ability to make people miss. At times he’s a little quick to take off for my taste, but when you’re that hard to get a clean shot on, it’s easy to understand why he leans into it. As a passer, he’s actually pretty sharp in the quick game and comfortable getting the ball out on time. The next step in his evolution is turning that athleticism into a more complete quarterback profile — tightening up the longer delivery on deep throws, keeping his eyes downfield a beat longer, and using that slipperiness to extend plays first. If he can buy his receivers that extra second before taking off, his running ability becomes even more dangerous as a counter instead of the first answer.
