Syracuse football extended an offer to Rinehart on December 20 of the previous year. In January, he informally visited the team during one of their junior days, and he’s scheduled for an official visit to Syracuse from June 14 to June 16. On3’s recruiting prediction placed Syracuse football as Rinehart’s second choice, just behind N.C. State, another finalist.
Moving on to Washington, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound prospect, he ranks within the top 300 nationally and the top 20 quarterbacks by multiple recruiting services. According to a recent article from 247Sports, Washington is considering making his commitment announcement over the weekend of June 28.

Currently, Virginia Tech seems to be gaining traction in Washington’s recruitment, as indicated on Rivals.com. He visited the Hokies officially in April.
