It’s no secret that since Gary Nova graduated after the 2014 season, Rutgers football has struggled to find a quarterback nearly as productive, let alone a reliable one. Often, fans have clung to the hope of players transferring into the program and becoming the best option under center for a point starved offensive unit the past few years. Unfortunately, the results have not been positive.
Hayden Rettig transferred to Rutgers from LSU when Kyle Flood was head coach, but after seeing limited action behind starter Chris Laviano during the 2015 season, he never saw the field in Chris Ash’s first season in charge a year later.
