Exactly what did he do that showed you he was an incredible athlete? An incredible athlete would either be a starting WR or done something offensively that would make the coaches play him.
Maybe it's the special teams coach?
Josh Youngblood washed out.
Now Rashad Rochelle.
Let's take a look at what has happened before and after they let the special teams coach go:
2020: (9 games): 33 kickoff returns for 849 yards, 2 TDs; 10 punt returns for 100 yards 1 TD;
kick return units scored three touchdowns (two kickoff, one punt) as Rutgers finished as one of four teams nationally, and the only Big Ten school, to reach the mark and one of 10 teams in the country with at least one kickoff and one punt return score. Rutgers led the Big Ten and ranked No. 16 nationally with 25.73 yards per kickoff return. Aron Cruickshank earned the Big Ten Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year and First Team All-Big Ten by the media and coaches, and was named honorable mention All-America as a kick returner by Phil Steele. He was one of four players tied for the nation's lead, and the only in the Big Ten, with two kickoff return touchdowns (100 yards at Purdue, 98 yards versus Nebraska). Cruickshank picked up 671 combined kick returns yards to rank fourth nationally and first in the conference.
2021: 39 kickoff returns for 813 yards; 23 punt returns for 255 yards; Rutgers’ kickoff coverage unit finished 17th in the nation allowing 17.58-yard per return. The Scarlet Knights punt block and return units were explosive ranked 25th in the nation allowing 2.93-yards per return while blocking one punt and returning another for a touchdown.
----------------------
2022: 26 kick off returns for 541 yards, 0 TD; 13 punt returns for 108 yards, 0 TD
2023: 4 kick off returns 165 yards 0 TD; 6 punt returns 31 yards 1 TD
Kickoff Returns: 33 to 39/// then 26 to 4
Punt Returns: 10 to 23///then 13 to 6
Pathetic!!!
Josh Youngblood went to Delaware- 467 receiving yards, TDs, no fumbles 🤔
Kick Returns 13 for 220 yds. He split kick returns with JoJo Bermudez and did not handle punt returns. The guy Greg let go had more kickoff return yards than Rutgers. He had more kickoff return yardage than Rutgers had in combined kickoff and put return yardage.
Prior to Rutgers in 2019 as a freshman , Youngblood handled kickoff returns at Kansas State, where he had 14 returns for 502 yards and 3 TDs.
Seems he did fine at other teams, but he had a "problem" at Rutgers.
The return team coaching is pathetic!!!!
