Malachi Goodman is the latest offer to go out for Rutgers football.
A class of 2025 recruit, Goodman is an offensive lineman at Paramus Catholic (Paramus, New Jersey). He already holds offers from Boston College, Duke, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska and Penn State among others.
Goodman was offered a month ago by Virginia Tech.
He is a 6-foot-5, 315-pound offensive lineman who projects as a guard at the next level.
Goodman is a mountain of a prospect who already has Power Five size. He moves very well and uses his length to force pass rushers into changing directions. He shuffles easily and has impressive footwork as well as hips.
He posted about the Rutgers offer on Wednesday night on X, the socially media platform formerly known as Twitter:

He needs to work a bit on his pad level and use of hands, but he has a lot of good tools to work with. Perhaps most impressive is that he does a nice job of finishing his blocks off.
