Frequently asked: Rusher recruiting

What is a rusher in flag football?

The defensive player(s) designated to pressure the QB after the required count (3- or 5-Mississippi depending on ruleset). The closest analogue to a defensive end in tackle.

How do college coaches evaluate flag rushers?

Get-off speed, hand technique, edge bend, and counter moves. They also weight your ability to drop into coverage if the rule set demands it.

Do rushers also need to cover?

Often, yes. Many flag rulesets only allow one or two designated rushers and the rest of the front-7 must drop. Include coverage reps.
