New Jersey three-star Ted Gregoire will be making his college decision soon

Three-star recruit Ted Gregoire is set to make his college decision this weekend.

Ted Gregoire, one of the top uncommitted players in New Jersey, will be making his college announcement this weekend.

A three-star defensive lineman, RutgersWire has learned that Gregoire will be making his college announcement this Saturday. He is a 6-foot-6, 280-pound defensive end at Hudson Catholic (Jersey City, N.J.).

He holds Power Five offers from Rutgers and Vanderbilt. He also holds offers from programs such as Columbia, Kent State, UMass, Princeton, Temple and Tulane. Rivals ranks Gregoire as the No. 30 player in the state.

In late July, Gregoire spoke with RutgersWire about his timeline for making an announcement. Originally, Gregoire was going to make his announcement in July but pushed back his date a couple of weeks:

“I’m just preparing myself for my last high school year and just getting better every day and being the best teammates and team player I can be,” Gregoire told RutgersWire on Monday.

“I’m not in a rush for my decision because God has a plan for me. So going day by day and getting better physically and mentally that my number one goal for me.”

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Gregoire is at 96.6 percent to Rutgers. Vanderbilt, given their high-academic profile, is in real consideration here for Gregoire, who is a tremendous student in addition to being a highly-recruited high school prospect.

Rutgers football recruit Ted Gregoire talks pushing decision back

Three-star Ted Gregoire discusses pushing his college announcement back.

Ted Gregoire had been eyeing a July decision for his college announcement. But now the New Jersey defensive lineman is taking a step back to evaluate his options.

The Hudson Catholic defensive lineman is a consensus three-star who holds Power Five offers from Rutgers, Syracuse and Vanderbilt as well as programs such as Army, Columbia, UMass, Princeton and Yale among others.

Gregoire was scheduled to announce his college decision on July 23 but he has pushed back that timeline a bit. He hopes to announce it before his senior season but he has no date in mind.

“I don’t have any timeline for announcing or picking a school but hoping for before the season,” Gregoire told RutgersWire on Tuesday. “Like I say, God got a plan for me.”

Gregoire underscored that he wants to make the right choice and not rush things.

“I’m just preparing myself for my last high school year and just getting better every day and being the best teammates and team player I can be,” Gregoire told RutgersWire on Monday.

“I’m not in a rush for my decision because God has a plan for me. So going day by day and getting better physically and mentally that my number one goal for me.”

Gregoire took an official visit to Rutgers football in June.

He told RutgersWire after his visit that his time with the Big Ten program on his official visit was a positive one:

“So Rutgers is in Jersey and I’m from Jersey, so I already know a lot from there. I’ve seen a couple of things I’ve never seen before. A couple of things I’ve never seen before so that was pretty cool on the visit,” Gregoire told RutgersWire in June.

“And on the visit, they talk more about how they used me and how things might go if I go there – if that’s the direction I choose. For the most part, I had a good time.”

He said that everything with the Scarlet Knights “is still the same” as it was after his official visit.
