How can you not be excited about spring football after watching that?

The 6-foot-2, 172-pound Rush is rated as a three-star prospect, South Carolina’s No. 19 overall prospect and the No. 5 receiver from the state, according to 247Sports Composite Ratings.

To get an idea of how well Rush would fit into the Gamecocks system, he could play either side of the ball at the college level, check out his junior high school highlight reel. Considering he’s fully capable of making big plays on either side of the ball — and special teams — it will be interesting to see how South Carolina evaluates him moving forward.

In addition to his moves on the gridiron, he may be the team’s best dunker immediately upon his arrival.
