Film Review: Can Raynor Andrews develop into a future starting tackle?

Rutgers upgraded its o-line with a player like Raynor Andrews. The 2024 recruit could make a difference up front in the future years.

Rutgers football added an excellent addition to its class of 2024 when three-star offensive lineman Raynor “Big Ray” Andrews provided his verbal commitment on June 3.

The 6-foot-5, 315 pounds Miami prospect received 11 offers, including Florida State, West Virginia, Syracuse, Central Florida, and South Florida. Andrews was the first Florida recruit to join the 2024 class as he prepares to play for Greg Schiano and the Scarlet Knights. While in high school, Andrews helped guide the Norland Vikings to a 9-3 record last year.

According to 247Sports, Andrews is a three-star recruit and the No. 7 ranked offensive tackle in the class of 2024. Also, Andrews has a Rivals rating of 5.6, making him a three-star recruit, per Rivals.com.

Film Review

Andrews has the size and big frame that makes him a desirable prospect for a Power Five program like Rutgers football. He certainly has the potential to develop into a starting tackle for the Scarlet Knights.

[lawrence-related id=27791]

The new Scarlet Knight has solid footwork when pass setting and can certainly hold up against power rushers. He is a physical player and plays whistle to whistle. Andrews can play left tackle as he develops towards a starting tackle, protecting Gavin Wimsatt’s blindside.

The 2024 recruit has excellent hand placement when coming off the ball in the rushing attack, limiting the chance of holding penalties. With such a big frame, Andrews still plays with excellent pad leverage.

As Andrews progresses toward the Power Five level, it will be interesting to see if the desirable prospect can keep up with a speedy pass rusher. He offers solid technique but has to work on his quickness off the ball.

With Andrews’s commitment, Rutgers upgraded its offensive line with a player who could make a difference up front for the future years.

Kenny Jones is excited to see Raynor Andrews join the 2024 recruiting class for Rutgers football.

Kenny Jones, the first player to commit to Rutgers football in their 2024 recruiting class, was excited to see another offensive lineman join him. On Saturday night, Rutgers landed a big-time commitment from Florida offensive tackle Raynor Andrews.

A three-star offensive lineman from Norland High School (Miami, FL), Andrews represents a big recruiting win for Rutgers. The Big Ten program won the recruiting battle to land Andrews against the likes of Central Florida, Colorado, Florida State, Syracuse and West Virginia among several other programs.

For Jones, a guard at Delran High School (Delran, N.J.), the addition of Andrews is welcome news. The first member of the 2024 recruiting class to commit to Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights now have two offensive linemen in a class that now totals 11 verbals.

“To be honest I’m really glad and excited that more and more players are believing in Rutgers and knowing that Rutgers is going to have real change in the upcoming years,” Jones told Rutgers Wire on Sunday night.

“I love seeing more and more players come and be a part of the Rutgers family.”

Rivals and 247Sports rank Jones as a top 20 recruit in New Jersey. ESPN.com has him at No. 21 in the state for this recruiting cycle.

All four major recruiting services (including On3) rank Jones as a three-star.

“It feels amazing to know people commit,” Jones said.

“Seeing it from the beginning and slowly building up is great.”

The 2024 class currently ranks No. 22 in the nation according to 247Sports.
