On Monday afternoon, New Jersey linebacker Willy Love announced that he will be making his college commitment on July 6. Love took an official visit to Rutgers in June.
ESPN and Rivals rank Love as a four-star recruit; he is also a consensus top-10 player in New Jersey. He is a class of 2024 prospect at Woodrow Wilson High School (Camden, N.J.). In mid-June, he released a top seven that included Maryland, Penn State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Rutgers, Syracuse and Texas A&M.
Now, Love is down to four programs, with one of New Jersey’s top recruits telling Rutgers Wire that Maryland, Pittsburgh, Rutgers and Syracuse will all be part of his final four programs.

Now, would Rutgers take a commitment from Love at this point? That is where things could get a bit tricky between the Big Ten program and one of the state’s top players.
The Scarlet Knights, who currently have a class of 20 commits, have three verbals from linebacker prospects.
All three commits have a strong Power Five offer list:
- [autotag]Sam Pilof[/autotag] (three-star linebacker with offers from Penn State and Wisconsin)
- [autotag]Montele Johnson[/autotag] (three-star linebacker with offers from Boston College, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Missouri and West Virginia)
- [autotag]Samarian Robinson[/autotag] (three-star linebacker with offers from Arizona, Arkansas, UCF, Colorado and Louisville)
