Rutgers football offered Myles Jackson on Wednesday night, adding the four-star quarterback to one of several offers at the position over the past month.
A class of 2024 quarterback, he completed 166-of-315 passes last season for Millikan High School (Long Beach, CA). He had 2,307 passing yards with 32 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
The Rams went 6-5 last season.
Rutgers may not take a quarterback in the current recruiting cycle. Last year, they landed Gavin Wimsatt, a four-star quarterback who was ranked as the top player in Kentucky for the 2023 recruiting class. Wimsatt played three high school football games and then shocked the college football world by enrolling at Rutgers early.
