With the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl quickly approaching, Mohamed Toure gave Rutgers fans a reason to celebrate on Saturday night. The talented linebacker announced on the X app that he would return to Piscataway for the 2024 season. It will be his fifth season as a Scarlet Knight.
Now that Toure is officially back in the mix for next year, Rutgers doesn’t have to replace one of their best players on defense. During his collegiate career the New Jersey native has recorded 160 total tackles and 12.5 sacks. As the Rutgers defense has continued to improve Toure has been at the center of their success.

Additionally, Toure’s news comes during the best season of his career. He has recorded a career-high 85 total tackles during the 2023 season and not missed a game. His elite production and ability to stay healthy make him irreplaceable.

While Toure is focused on helping Rutgers secure a bowl win, he did not hide his excitement to return for another season. The Pleasantville High School product said in his post, ” The revenge tour continues… I’m back.”
In his last year of eligibility, Toure’s goal will be to help Rutgers reach new heights. They showed promising signs this season but struggled down the stretch. As Toure alluded to in his post, the Scarlet Knights still have unfinished business.
