In addition to the Rutgers staff's coaching duties on the field, the loss of Peddie (Hightstown, N.J.) wide receiver Marlyn Johnson has created a void in the team 2019 recruiting class that must be filled. Hence, Aliquippa (Pa.) three-star Will Gipson has become a new player of focus, recently snagging an offer from the Scarlet Knights. The 6-3, 180-pound receiver comes from a competitive program, and despite a modest offer list, has good length and a strong skill-set.
"On Thursday, (Rutgers recruiting coordinator) Adam Caltury texted me saying we'd be in contact Monday night," Gipson told NJ Advance Media.
