Jonathan Galette is offered by Rutgers football

Rutgers football offers Jonathan Galette from St. Jospeh’s Regional (Montvale).

Jonathan Galette was offered by Rutgers football on Friday. The St. Joseph’s Regional (Montvale) athlete was on the Rutgers campus as part of a recruiting event for several of the area’s top recruits.

A 5-foot-11, 160-pound athlete, Rutgers represents the first Power Five offer for Galette, who is a member of the 2027 recruiting class.

Galette attended Friday night’s recruiting event where a number of top prospects from the area (and beyond) were in attendance. The unofficial visits included a campus tour, a photo shoot, and a barbeque.

For Galette, it also included an offer from head coach Greg Schiano. He posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, about the offer:

 

It has been a busy week for Rutgers football, as they sent out a number of offers including to New Jersey wide receiver Liam Thorpe and Philadelphia quarterback Semaj Beals.

Rutgers also hosted a number of top committed players in the 2024 recruiting class on Saturday during another unofficial visit event for players.

Former Rutgers football player John Guaimano joins staff at prep powerhouse

John Guaimano announces he has joined the staff a North Jersey parochial powerhouse.

John Guaimano is joining the staff at St. Joseph’s Regional (Montvale). A former Rutgers player, he is yet another player with Big Ten ties who has joined the coaching ranks in New Jersey this offseason.

With the program, he will be their safeties and outside linebackers coach. He was a walk-on with the program and spent three years at Rutgers as a defensive back.

He played his high school football at Cedar Grove.

The Green Knights, traditionally a powerhouse program in North Jersey, went 6-5 while playing a tough schedule last year. They played strong games versus two powerhouse programs in their games at Don Bosco Prep (a 44-35 loss) and against Bergen Catholic (a 31-21 loss).

Guaimano tweeted about the new coaching position on Monday afternoon.

 

Rutgers players have steadily been joining coaching staffs of top programs in New Jersey this offseason. Guaimano joins some pretty good company.

In May, former Rutgers football players Quanzell Lambert and Myles Nash became assistant coaches at Winslow Township High School (Atco, N.J.) and head coach Bill Belton. The name Belton is likely familiar to New Jersey high school football fans as he is a former running back at Penn State who attended Winslow.
