Time, perhaps, to rethink Thomas Amankwaa’s position at the next level?

Amankwaa, a Rutgers football commit, pulled off a ‘Randy Moss’ catch on Saturday in Hillsborough’s state title win. The move is known as getting ‘Mossed’ – a play on the Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver’s ability to rise above a defensive back and snatch the ball at a high point.

A defensive back recruit for Rutgers, Amankwaa also plays a variety of positions on offense. He is a highly effective wide receiver given his leaping ability and solid route running. He held several offers when he committed to Rutgers this fall including from Pittsburgh and Syracuse.

Amankwaa has the potential to be an All-Big Ten level cornerback in college, but he also looks like he could be a very solid wide receiver for Rutgers as well.

 

The future Rutgers wide receiver celebrated with a ‘CHOP’ after running into the endzone for a touchdown.

Hillsborough beat Kingsway 28-7 to claim the CentralGroup 5 Championship in New Jersey. Following the game, Amankwaa was embraced by Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano on the very same field he will be playing on next fall.
