Rutgers football is getting a big visit on Saturday for the Big Ten game against Wisconsin. Micah Wing, one of the top pass rushers in the area, is expected at SHI Stadium for a visit.
Wing is a three-star recruit and the third-highest-rated recruit in Delaware according to 247 Sports. He is developing a bond with Rutgers and head coach Greg Schiano.
“Can’t wait for tomorrow, since Rutgers first offered me we talked about commitment dates. I wanted to take time with my recruitment,” Wing told ‘Rutgers Wire’ on Friday.
“But I’m at the point where I’m starting to narrow down options and focusing on which schools I wanted to attend and where I believe will put me in the best position in life, as an athlete and as a person. Fortunately, Rutgers is amongst those schools.

“I love everything coach Schiano and the staff are doing to turn the program around and rebuild. I could see myself fitting right into the system.”
Wing said that West Virginian, Penn State, and Syracuse are also in the mix in his recruitment.
“All schools involved are what I look for in a school,” Wing said.
“I ask myself a few questions: does the school help develop their athletes on and off the field? How many of their athletes are graduating with a college degree? Where do they stand with their depth chart as far as my position? And lastly how well would I fit in the program personally?
“With that being said, all the schools offer a great balance between student life, athletics, and academics and great coaching staffs with a clear vision and a plan to execute – which is why all the schools are at the top of my list.”
