PISCATAWAY -- Asked for the pecking order at tight end for Rutgers, position coach Vince Okruch put one hand way above his head for starter Jerome Washington and lowered it to around chin level for the backups.
After sitting out all last season as a transfer from Miami and being withheld from contact in spring camp because of a shoulder injury, Washington has had a strong summer to "separate himself" on the depth chart.
"I think I'm a good receiver, a good blocker and I'll play my heart out," Washington said.
