Rutgers currently has a very solid recruiting class that is ranked No. 34 nationally according to 247Sports. Six players in the class are listed as wide receivers, although several of them have position versatility.
Off to a 2-0 start to the season, Rutgers faces a strong Virginia Tech team on Saturday afternoon at SHI Stadium.
