Nigel Smith is not making an official visit to Rutgers football this weekend, but don’t count the Scarlet Knights out right now.
A defensive lineman for Melissa High School (Melissa, TX), Smith is a consensus four-star recruit. At 6-foot-5 and 260 pounds, Smith is the No. 110 player in the nation according to 247Sports.
Smith told Rutgers Wire that his official visit, scheduled for this weekend, isn’t going to happen. He won’t go into the reasons why he is unable to make the Rutgers football visit, only to say that “they are still a school I’m considering, just a visit that I can’t take this weekend.”
Last week, Smith announced his six official visits, which is now down to five programs with the news this week that he won’t be at Rutgers this weekend:
