Rushing has spent the past six seasons working with the Aggie secondary. In 2003 he worked closely with Mark Estelle, who was USU's defensive MVP and played in the Rotary Gridiron Classic.

In 2004, the Aggie secondary was involved in the team allowing just 202.55 passing yards per game, which ranked 42nd in the nation. That season, Rushing coached freshman All-American Terrance Washington. In 2005, he coached Jarrett Bush, who was a first-team All-WAC cornerback and is currently with the Green Bay Packers. Bush ranked sixth in the NCAA in passes defended in 2005 with 1.36 per game.

This past season he coached cornerbacks Roy Hurst, Kejon Murphy, who had two interceptions apiece and ranked ninth and 10th respectively for USU and third and fourth respectively among defensive backs with 35 and 30 tackles.

Rushing grew up in Merced, Calif., and attended Merced High School. He graduated from Washington State with a degree in sociology in 1995 and finished a master's degree through Boise State in 2005.
