The Rutgers football 2024 recruiting class is currently at four players. Three of those recruits are on the offensive side of the ball.
Three-star offensive lineman Kenny Jones (Delran, N.J.) committed to the Scarlet Knights in November, the first verbal in the class. Four-star Michigan running back Gabriel Winowich then committed in January.
New Jersey’s top quarterback, A.J. Surace, a three-star with multiple Power Five offers, committed in February.
