A trio of impressive visitors were at Rutgers on Saturday, one of whom gave a surprise commitment to the program.
This weekend, Rutgers football hosted a coaching clinic that was highlighted by guest speaker Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots head coach, and his son Brian Belichick (Patriots safeties coach). A number of high school coaches from the area were present for Saturday’s practice, where they saw a combination of drills but also the first scrimmage of spring.
The scrimmage provides a backdrop for Rutgers football to host several players over the weekend, including one who gave a verbal on Saturday evening:
- Cooper Ackerman, a three-star defensive end from Shrewsbury (Shrewsbury, MA)
- Brian Brennan, an offensive tackle from Buckingham Browne & Nichols School (Grafton, MA)
- Sam Pilof, a three-star linebacker from Middleton (Middleton, WI). Pilof committed on the visit.
