Rutgers secured a commitment from Alexandria (Va.) Episcopal four-star defensive back Patrice Rene today. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Rene, a native of Ottawa, Canada, picked the Scarlet Knights over Ohio State.
Rene is the 31st-rated cornerback in the 2016 class according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings. Rivals.com rates Rene the 15th-best safety in 2016, so he has some position flexibility.
