Elijah King announced to Rutgers football on Thursday, with the Scarlet Knights continuing their recruiting momentum.
It is now three commitments for Rutgers in two days, all coming on the defensive side of the ball.
At 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds, King is a class of 2024 defensive end from Gahanna Lincoln (Columbus, OH). He is a tremendous presence off the edge, with good length coupled with a nice twitch that is a headache for offensive tackles.
He holds offers from a range of programs including Cincinnati, Indiana, Iowa State, Kentucky, Minnesota and West Virginia among others.
King announced his commitment to Rutgers via his social media on Thursday afternoon.
Excited to announce my commitment to Rutgers University!!! Thank you God for blessing me with this opportunity and the ability to play football. Thank you to my circle for the support and sacrifice. @CoachMWatson @CoachKeyte @GregSchiano @KayWhitaker_ @gahannafootball @RFootball pic.twitter.com/MIbwXFAXTW
