Nevada’s veteran trench wrecking ball
Korey Rush is a proven Nevada defensive lineman whose 2017 and 2018 All-Mountain West recognition and reputation for playing through pain set him apart as a tough, high-motor interior force. In 2018, Nevada game notes credited him with leading the team with 4.5 tackles for loss early in the season, and he finished that year battling a broken foot but still producing in the Arizona Bowl. He’s the kind of player who brings edge, resilience, and old-school physicality—an easy fit for a team that values toughness in the middle.
