Rutgers football is the first Power Five offer for Luke Wafle

Rutgers football the first Power Five offer for Luke Wafle.

Luke Wafle was offered by Rutgers football on Wednesday. The offer from the Scarlet Knights was the first from a Power Five program for Wafle.

It won’t be the last.

A class of 2025 recruit from The Hun School (Princeton, N.J)., Wafle checks in at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds. He projects as a defensive end at the next level.

Wafle is just beginning to see his recruitment take off. In mid-April, he attended the Penn State annual spring game.

Playing both weak and strongside, Wafle is impressive with his burst off the edge. He has excellent pursuit as well as a frame that should be able to handle additional size and strength gains.

 

His older brother is class of 2024 recruit Owen Wafle, a defensive lineman who is committed to Notre Dame.

For Rutgers, the class of 2024 currently stands at seven commits following two verbals over the weekend from a pair of tight ends. The first commit came on Sunday from Michigan tight end Monte Keener, who made his decision a week removed from his visit to Rutgers. At the time of his commitment, Keener held Power Five offers from Indiana and Minnesota.

Then on Monday, Matthew Ogunniyi from Maryland committed to Rutgers. Ogunniyi recently was offered by Texas A&M just two weeks before he committed to the Scarlet Knights.
