One of the top defensive backs in the nation, Josh Philostin, will be taking an official visit to Rutgers football this weekend. The Florida defensive back is a four-star recruit.
Last season, Philostin had 12 tackles with four interceptions and six passes defended in 10 games played for Cardinal Newman (West Palm Beach, FL).
According to ESPN.com, Philostin is a four-star recruit. On3 ranks him as the No. 295 player in the nation. He has an offer list that includes Arkansas, Indiana, Ole Miss, Penn State and Pittsburgh among other Power Five schools.
At 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, Philostin is an aggressive defensive back who is combative on the line. He has good eye discipline and is instinctual with strong pursuit.
Rutgers and head coach Greg Schiano can certainly point to a strong track record of producing top defensive backs, including the likes of Duron Harmon, Devin McCourty and Jason McCourty.
