Tyler Neville has been offered by Rutgers football, the Harvard tight end having several notable Power Five offers since entering the transfer portal a week ago.
Rutgers joins programs such as Boston College, Houston, UMass, Old Dominion, South Carolina, TCU, and Virginia among others.
Tight end is a position where Rutgers is projected to be very active in the transfer portal given that there is a need to add an experienced athlete or two at the position.
Neville, a multi-year starter at Harvard as well as being an All-Ivy League selection, would certainly be a fit. Last season, he had 24 catches for 283 yards with four touchdowns.

Also on the roster and with no more eligibility is Shawn Bowman, a physical presence at tight end who joined Rutgers in the transfer portal this summer from FCS program Maine.
Rutgers took a significant step forward in its rebuild this season, finishing the regular season 6-6 (3-5 Big Ten) and bowl-eligible by mid-October.
