Vilay Nakkoun became the latest recruit to commit to Rutgers football as the Florida athlete gave his verbal on Wednesday night.
He tweeted about the decision on Wednesday, providing a surprise commitment to the Scarlet Knights and continuing a hot streak of verbals to the program.
The verbal from Nakkoun makes it five commitments for Rutgers football in the past 12 days. The previous four commitments all came local to Rutgers with two verbals from New Jersey (three-star tight end Logan Blake and three-star h-back Dante Barone) and two from Long Island (wide receiver Dylan Braithwaite and safety Ian Strong).
Nakkoun has listed offers from South Florida and Appalachian State. He is the starting quarterback at Orlando Christian Prep (Orland, FL).
Following his commitment to Rutgers football, Vilay Nakkoun gave a breakdown of why he felt the time was right to join the Big Ten program. He discussed why he liked the program, the status of his recruitment following his commitment as well as his relationship with head coach Greg Schiano and wide receivers coach Damiere Shaw.
