Well, that escalated quickly. Rutgers football offered Robbie Johnson Jr. this week and an official visit is already in place
A 6-foot-4, 230-pound defensive end from Salesianum (Wilmington, Delaware), Johnson pulled in an offer from Rutgers on Thursday. The Scarlet Knights join the likes of Duke, Old Dominion, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Temple and West Virginia in offering the talented edge rusher.
An official visit to Rutgers is set for this weekend. He also has a June official visit set up at Minnesota.
Johnson visited Rutgers during spring practice in March.
