After a series of 18 appointments over the past three weeks, American football now has one of the highest-ranked recruiting classes in the country.
O Rutgers The class, which has five commits with four-star ratings in the On3 Industry Rankings, is very solid in terms of player projections.
According to Rivals, Rutgers’ class is ranked sixth in the country. According to 247 Sports classification, the class is ninth.
This class has leaned heavily on in-state recruiting this cycle, with eight players committing from New Jersey. Florida, not surprisingly, is once again the top recruiting ground for Rutgers, with five players committed.
(Last year, Florida had eight commits in Rutgers classthe most of any state).
Now, there is a caveat to this news… Rutgers’ rankings will likely start to decline in the coming weeks. With 26 players committed, Rutgers has one of the largest classes in the country. While the quality of players is quite good, there is likely to be significant movement from several large programs as they begin to fill their own classes.
The good news for Rutgers is that they set their goals early and achieved them.
This is a high quality class that also has significant depth. It’s an impressive recruiting job by head coach Greg Schiano and his staff, to say the least.
