Four-star EDGE prospect Elias Rudolph, previously committed to Michigan, announced his decision to flip to the Hurricanes on Saturday evening.

According to the 247sports composite rankings, Rudolph stands as the #292 prospect in the nation. He's the #21 rated EDGE. Within the state of Florida,, Rudolph is ranked of the #40 overall player.

Hailing from the renowned Deerfield Beach High School, a traditional powerhouse in high school football, Rudolph stands at 6’4” and weighing 205 pounds, with a projectable frame at his position

With Rudolph's commitment, Miami's 2024 class now holds 20 commitments. He joins Marquise Lightfoot, another pass-rushing edge talent in the recruiting class.

Eh. Mid

Honest question because I'm not going to look up what you said at the time....but is that what you said when he committed to Michigan?

Is she really from Seneca, South Carolina? That’s only an hr from me

No, I totally made it up. My brother worked at the power plant (now apparently called "World of Energy") during the summer when he was an engineering student. So I have visited Oconee and Pickens Co.

I didn't realize he's that young. Guess it should've been semi logical. But for us here 250 is our bare minimum we want on the edge in an ideal world. There's a reason Cyrus hasn't really hit the field yet. We don't want anyone getting pushed around in individual match ups.

Because he’s like 220, if that.

Dee, JT himself was below that at the combine. Given all the line movement I would hope JT and Nicholson would figure out how to move Moss around to have an important role even if he’s weighing 235 to 240. Of course he looks 20 pounds shy of that right now so this is all speculation. But the kid has quicks we gotta be able to exploit somehow.

How does he compare to say a young jafari Harvey?

Harvey was a little thicker (pause) if I remember correctly, because we thought he may even get a look at LB (he may have grown an inch or two senior year) and had played it high school…But it isn't the worst comparison. Similar builds but not exactly the same

This kid may be a tad twitchier. I think a little bigger (10 lbs and just a little bigger framed)Jarvis Moss is a good comparison.

He’s built kinda like a WR at the moment but he sure is quick. That spin move on his highlights beating two guys sure was fun.

He’s killing people on a couple of blocks though and seems to use his hands well so he doesn’t seem (small sample size) to be just a one trick speed rush pony. They lined him up at DT a few times and he made some plays.

Two twitched up phenoms off the edge love it

Best part is with guidry an edge isn't necessarily an edge.

Rudolph is one of my favorite Edge prospects and has been criminally underrated by this board. He has the length, agility, speed, bend, explosion, closing burst and the frame to add 40 lbs of good weight. Rudolph could grow into a 6'6" 240+ lb wrecking ball off the edge. There's a reason why Jason Taylor wanted him in this class so badly. This was a monumental pickup and a fantastic addition to this class.

Also, same HS as Tank Carradine who played at FSU under Jimbo coming out of JUCO and got drafted in the 2nd round by the 9ers. Was a first team All ACC guy. Would’ve had a much longer career if not for injuries.

Given how Michigan has evaluated and developed EDGE defenders, you want the ones who they have picked.

Thats now the second talented one we've flipped.

Oh I apologize to u 4 having to visit those places. Those places definitely doesn’t define or speak for the whole South Carolina

Crazy we all just can't be happy when we land a kid anymore. Slurpers taking shots left & right in the thread. Stfu & enjoy a commitment from a very nice prospect. EVERYONE that's here on the regular wants the same thing and that's Miami to win. Nice pickup. Lets go!
