Last week, Michael Thomas III included Rutgers football in his top five, signaling that the Big Ten program is going to get an official visit from the New Jersey wide receiver.
He is a priority recruit for Rutgers football and head coach Greg Schiano’s staff.
Thomas is a four-star wide receiver out from Donovan Catholic (Barnegat, New Jersey). Both ESPN and 247Sports rank him as a top-three player in New Jersey in the 2025 recruiting class.
Nationally, he is ranked as the No. 10 wide receiver in the nation by ESPN.
His top five are Illinois, Rutgers, Syracuse, Penn State and Boston College.
