Film Review

From Atlantic City High School (Atlantic City, New Jersey), Degraffenreidt is a threat on special teams and is an explosive wide receiver with tremendous speed. Degraffenreidt can pick apart opposing defenses by going over the top while running multiple route combinations.

He is a versatile wideout with good size and length, logging plenty of snaps at the slot and outside position. Degraffenreidt shows good awareness and has excellent hands. He runs aggressive and physical routes, using his speed to blow by defenders.

He takes his angles well to extend yards after the catch.

Degraffenreidt’s speed will be dangerous on Rutgers’ special teams as a kick/punt returner. Degraffenreidt is a playmaker and Rutgers offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca will try to use this 2025 recruit’s skill set in his offense for years to come.

His route running will need some time to continue to develop. But physically, he consistently wins contested catches and is a downfield threat to take the top off of a defense.

Rutgers landed a potential playmaker in this south Jersey talent.

“That’s the place that I felt most comfortable,” Degraffenreidt told Rutgers Wire on Sunday.

“Like, the whole staff treated me as family.”

The strongest relationship formed by Degraffenreidt in the recruiting process with Rutgers was with wide receivers coach Dave Brock. The message from Brock to Degraffenreidt, he said, was simply that “Nobody wants to coach you like me.”

“I started seeing them as family when they all started reaching out me, showing me that they really wanted me to be a part of the family,” Degraffenreidt said.

“They have (an) amazing staff and player’s program and they have more good players coming in.”

As for the future of his recruitment, Degraffenreidt was also very clear in how he sees things progressing until he signs.

“I’m 1000 percent,” Degraffenreidt said. The only college I will be talking to is Rutgers.”
