It is now two Big Ten offers in the span of a week for [autotag]David Forster[/autotag], an athlete prospect who hasn’t even played high school football yet. Last week, Forster was offered by his in-state program of Rutgers.
His brother, [autotag]John Forster[/autotag], was at Rutgers last weekend for an official visit. David Forster was offered by Rutgers during that visit as well, marking the first college offer of his career.
A four-star running back, John Forster is on an official to Illinois this weekend. He is the fifth-ranked player in New Jersey in the class of 2025 and Rivals has him as the fifth-best running back recruit in the nation.
As for David Forster, the class of 2028 recruit is still a bit of an ambiguity in terms of a position projection, but it is clear that he is a talented athlete. At 6-foot-4, it seems that he will be a wide receiver and a defensive back when he plays this fall for St. Joseph Regional (Montvale):
At St. Joseph, the Foster brothers will play for Augie Hoffman.

Currently, the class of 2025 is a strong one for Rutgers and features 19 committed players. Were John Forster to commit to the Scarlet Knights, he would likely help raise the ranking of a class that is currently No. 12 in the nation for this class (per 247Sports).
