Famah Toure’s commitment to Rutgers football gives the Scarlet Knights a talented and athletic wide receiver, adding an important potential playmaker at an area where the program needs talent.
A three-star recruit, Toure committed to Rutgers football on Friday evening. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound wide receiver. had a listed final four that included West Virginia, Kentucky and Illinois along with Rutgers.
Toure, a wide receiver out of Irvington, N.J. will remind some Rutgers fans of former Scarlet Knights Kenny Britt.
As a senior in high school at Bayonne, Britt was 6-foot-4, 191 pounds and ranked a four-star by Rivals. His measurables in terms of his length are very similar to the class of 2023 Toure.
Britt was a first-round pick in the 2009 NFL draft and played nine seasons in the league with four teams.

Like Britt, his frame would suggest a possession wide receiver. But also like Britt, he has the ability to get open downfield and has good speed and elusiveness in the open field.

Both Toure and Britt, given their frames and length, possess the ability to be possession wide receivers who can move the chains. But it is Toure’s ability to separate at the line and make defenders miss in the open field that makes him very much like Britt.
According to 247Sports, Toure is the No. 13 player in New Jersey in this current recruiting class.
