Rutgers football less than 24 hours away from the beginning of National Signing Day yet they continue adding talent to the program. Elijah Barnwell, a running back and linebacker from Piscataway, announced his pledge to the program today.
Tom Lemming who is considered the “expert” and wrote the bible on college recruiting is a fan.
Barnwell led Piscataway to a birth in the Group 5 playoffs. Despite questions about his size (some sources list him shorter than his Hudl 6’0) and 40 time (~4.7), Keith Sargeant mentions new Rutgers offensive coordinator Jerry Kill and running backs coach Lester Erb recruiting him which indicates Elijah will play running back.
