Perhaps no program throughout the country had a more surprising and monumental summer on the recruiting trail than Rutgers. Things certainly look a lot different in Greg Schiano's second stint in Piscataway compared to much of the Scarlet Knights' history in the Big Ten, and the program appears to be on the upswing both on the field and off of it.
The Scarlet Knights made a big splash in June by flipping four-star linebacker DJ McClary from Penn State and keeping him in New Jersey. The program also has commitments from three other in-state four-stars in linebacker Kamar Archie, running back John Forster and offensive tackle Jaelyne Matthews.
Rutgers currently has 29 total commits in its 2025 class, and ranks 22nd in the country. The Scarlet Knights have a chance to sign their first top-25 class since the 2012 cycle (24th).
