PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Cue the theme song for The Sopranos: Jaelyne Matthews is on his way to Rutgers football.
The four-star offensive lineman is heading to Rutgers for a visit on Saturday, just a couple of hours after playing for Toms River North (Toms River, New Jersey). The Mariners beat South Regional (Manahawkin, New Jersey) 42-6 to improve to 5-1 on the season
Matthews, who in mid-September de-committed from Penn State, is a consensus four-star recruit in the 2025 class. He will play in the Under Armour All-America Game next year.
Last week, Matthews took a visit to Georgia.
As a freshman, Rutgers was the first program to offer Matthews:
