Edd Guerrier certainly has the characteristics that head coach Greg Schiano wants in his Rutgers football recruits. Talented and explosive, Guerrier also has a competitive attitude.
That drive and character came out this weekend in his final game of high school football.
On Friday night Guerrier’s high school career came to an end with Port Charlotte’s (Port Charlotte, Florida) going through a 63-33 loss at Naples (Naples, Florida). Port Charlotte finished the season 9-3.
His 12-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter made it a 35-18 deficit for Port Charlotte.
It is a nice, tidy run from Guerrier to break through traffic with his legs churning and then to get into the open field. He followed a nice block to run the final eight yards untouched into the endzone.
After the touchdown, Guerrier’s comments were picked up by a camera in the end zone.
“Let’s go, we’re here boy! It’s not over!”

It’s that fight and fire following the touchdown that really stands out about Guerrier. It is a mentality that Schiano has instilled in the Rutgers football program and it seems that Guerrier’s character, despite being down, is something that will blend in well with the culture of the Rutgers locker room.

A three-star running back, Guerrier’s only other Power Five offer is from Louisville. He is ranked the No. 85 running back in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.
