Star 2018 Ohio QB to camp at Rutgers

[ho26rus]

So my buddy on the free site here, Abro, has a nephew that he talked to , and he will be coming to camp at Rutgers and throw for the staff. Tadas Tatarunas, 6'4, 200, Mentor HS, 26 TDs, 12 ints, 3000 yards Spread and Pro style offense. He has lots of family in NJ. He wants to play in Big10, OSU is the team he roots for , but if they don't offer he's open to RU. Michigan St and Purdue as well as MAC schools have been in to see him recently and said they will be coming back in January and want him to camp at their schools. Abro has been doing what he can to get him on the RU radar. EJ has his hudl video, but things are crazy in the RU football offices now. I think he's the real deal. He's been interviewed by Scout recently and 247, with some nice accolades.

Here is his Hudl video :

I think he can be Rutgers starter if he comes here. It's either Ohio State or Rutgers is next.

 

[RUROCKIN]

With a name like Tadas Tatarunas he better be 6'4".

@Abro1975 is that Maryann's son? Would love to see him at RU!

 

[Machiavelli23]

Will he come here if we can get Abro a job on the staff.... ;)

 

[Abro1975]

@Abro1975 is that Maryann's son? Would love to see him at RU!

Yes, cousin John , lol. How are you related to Peter Abromitis, my uncle who lived in Vineland ? Tada's mom is Maryann Abromitis Tatarunas. My sister is Maryann Abromitis McFadden, who's son was a NJ All State QB about 20 years ago, but wound up taking baseball schollie at Monmouth.

Don't know the family involved here. If this a legacy recruit, ala JG?

Not directly , he has 2 aunts and an uncle, and a cousin who graduate Rutgers College, NB. My sister and I both graduated in 1975 (we think we are the first brother and sister to graduate together since females weren't admitted until 1972, she skipped her senior year in HS and went to RU Newark her freshman college year). She's the author of 3 published novels and lives in Hackettstown.

Not at all. Just a HUGE family where a ton of us root for RU (like a dozen of us are season ticket holders). This is the branch that moved away to Ohio and grew up Ohio State fans.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

EDIT: my mistake

 

[RUJohnny99]

A Greek QB starting for a team that plays next door to a Greek church? My dad's prayers may be answered!

Whoa whoa whoa.

Who said he's Greek? He's Lithuanian

 

[AreYouNUTS]

nt.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Whoa whoa whoa.

Okay...odd...the last name "Abromitis" that was mentioned sounded very familiar, as in one my family knows, but I could be off by a letter!

LOL. we have this conversation every 6 months or so. Your grandfather Joe, my grandmother Anna, & Uncle Pete were brothers & sisters. Ask Jacky who I am. We email back & forth on a regular basis.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Whoa whoa whoa.

Maybe the next Jonas Jonaitis (Johnny Unitas)!

Does he sport a flat top?

 

[R U Crazy]

I caught Abromitis once...took 3 doses of penicillin to clear it up.

 

[RUTGERZ_R00LZ]

Does he sport a flat top?

my ex-wife had a flat top.

 

[Knight Shift]

Every time he throws a touch down, the scoreboard can flash, and the stadium can chant:

(just add an "S" at the end).

 

[koleszar]

Whoa whoa whoa.

Is this the Lithuanian Laser I've been hearing so much about. Who has been tearing up Ohio defenses with his Laser beam arm and thundering herd legs.

That be the guy ! lol. Shades of Johnny Unitas (Vitas Gerulaitis, Dick Butkus, Anthony Keidas , and Bob Dylan also Lithuanian/American). We're requesting he change his number from 12 to 19 (Unitas' number for those that remember).
Here he is with his mom, my first cousin, who was Miss Cleveland, or Miss Cuyhoga County, a few years ago). This kid has 4 star talent.

 

[vascosg]

Ok there's a whole family back and forth thing going on here but that boy on the video is a man among children. - sophomore?!!!! I expect one or all of you all to march that young man to Ash's office and get him in a Rutgers uniform.

Sounds like you guys need to start having family reunions. LOL. And make sure the first one is in NJ. And that the QB shows up. Let him start to feel at home.
