Rutgers football has arguably the top recruiting class in the program’s history, at least in terms of rankings and ratings. There is a heavy representation in New Jersey as well, in particular impact players who can step in and contribute sooner rather than later.
A total of six players made the USA TODAY NETWORK 2021 All-New Jersey football offensive team who are either committed to Rutgers or are still being recruited by the program. Five of the players in the all-state team are seniors with only Bergen Catholic’s Chase Bisontis a junior. The USA Today Network 2021 All-New Jersey football offensive team was released on Wednesday.
Under head coach Greg Schiano during his first tenure with the program, recruiting New Jersey was the pipeline for his first rebuild of the Scarlet Knights. Now playing in the Big Ten, Schiano is recruiting at a different level and it shows in lists like this one from the USA TODAY Network.
