The Rutgers football coaching staff continues to put work on the recruiting trail and received their first commitment in a little over a week on Friday night. The Scarlet Knights secured a verbal commitment from Wide Receiver Brayden Fox of Akron, Ohio:
Rutgers seemed to be battling it out with division foe Michigan State for his services, though the wide receiver had nine other Division I offers with other Power Five schools showing interest per 247sports. At 6’3” and 200 pounds, Fox is a solid three-star prospect, the 41st best in Ohio for the 2021 class according to the 247 composite which includes other sources.
