Rutgers football kicked off the preparation for the upcoming college football season with Wednesday’s first session of training camp.

It is certainly a season of anticipation with Rutgers football expected to show growth in a third year under head coach Greg Schiano. Last season, Rutgers went 5-8. In the process of putting together a rather solid rebuilding year, they played in the Gator Bowl, marking a return to the postseason for the first time since 2014.

This is the third season under head coach Greg Schiano of what is a rather significant rebuilding project at Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights open the season on Saturday, September 3 at Boston College.

There is hope that Rutgers football can continue a positive trend this season, especially with freshman quarterback Gavin Wimsatt, the development of running back Kyle Monangai, adding transfers such as Sean Ryan and Taj Harris as well as a very strong secondary.
