Rutgers football recruiting: Jowhar Franklin gets a Scarlet Knights offer

Jowhar Franklin gets an offer from Rutgers football

Three-star defensive tackle Jowhar Franklin pulled in an offer from Rutgers football this week. Franklin is a big-time defensive tackle from Louisiana and is a class of 2024 recruit.

At 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, Franklin has some impressive size that projects well as a 3-technique. He holds Power Five offers from Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Miami, Ohio State, Ole Miss and USC among others.

Franklin plays for John Curtis High School in New Orleans, LA. Last season in eight games as a junior, he had 21 total tackles. He moves well for a player of his size, collapses the pocket well and is aggressive in getting after the ball carrier.

He tagged Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano and defensive coordinator Joe Harasymiak in his social media post, announcing the offer.

 

It was a busy June for Rutgers football as they received multiple commitments throughout the month. On Thursday night, four-star wide receiver/tight end K.J. Duff, the top-ranked player in New York, committed to the program.

He is one of three recruits committed to Rutgers who are ranked as four stars.

Michigan football offers unranked 2024 behemoth DT from SEC country

Unranked but with those offers? Sheesh! #GoBlue

It’s pretty rare that a recruit from the heart of SEC country goes under the radar, but such appears to be the case for an emerging defensive tackle in Louisiana.

Despite having offers from Ohio State, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, and Miami, 2024 New Orleans (La.) defensive tackle Jowhar Franklin is unranked by the recruiting services. But, the soon-to-be senior in high school is already 6-foot-6, 300-pounds, so he’s already at an ideal weight to play at the next level.

On Saturday, his offer sheet grew by one, and it’s one the biggest he’s received thus far, as Michigan football extended an opportunity to the rising 2024 player.

Given his offer sheet, it’s more likely than not that the recruiting services are behind, as several other big-time schools are involved in Franklin’s recruitment.

Though schools like Ohio State and Nebraska got involved sooner, it’s unclear if the Wolverines will be able to climb into his top group. Most of his big offers have come within the past month, with OSU offering on March 29, Nebraska offering on April 6, and Colorado offering on April 16.
