On Saturday, Wisconsin linebacker Sam Pilof committed to Rutgers football, giving the Scarlet Knights a player with a very high ceiling.
A top 10 player in Wisconsin in the 2024 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite, Pilof became the first verbal on the defensive side of the ball for Rutgers. It also represents another reach into Big Ten country for Rutgers in this recruiting class.
In January, Rutgers landed four-star running back Gabriel Winowich from Michigan.
At the time of his commitment, Pilof held offers from Iowa State, Penn State and Wisconsin. Minnesota and Tennessee were likely to offer, Pilof said, if had visited campus.
This weekend represented Pilof’s third visit to the program but the decision to commit is something that had been in the process since earlier this month. He has family in the area.
New Jersey pizza, he said, is eye-opening. He ate pizza three times over the weekend.
