In late March, Zion Lee was offered by Rutgers football, adding another Power Five program into a crowded recruitment.
A class of 2026 prospect, Elee plans to visit Rutgers football sometime this month.
Elee is an edge rusher from Joppatowne (Joppa, Maryland). He checks in at 6-foot-5, 225-pound who has a strong offer list that includes Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin among others.
His offer from Rutgers came on a call with head coach [autotag]Greg Schiano[/autotag].
“I was excited to receive an offer straight from a head coach. That’s how you know it ain’t a game,” Elee told Rutgers Wire.
“The program is great in my opinion with a nice, building defense and they also bring put a lot of players in the league.”
In late March, Elee took an unofficial visit to Maryland.
