Rutgers' No. 1 tight end has been limited for all of spring practice after offseason shoulder surgery.
The Scarlet Knights may have discovered their No. 1A as a result.
With Jerome Washington sidelined, Travis Vokolek has been one of Rutgers' spring stars. The sophomore has taken advantage of his increased reps and has the look of a player who may be about to break out.
"Travis has had an outstanding go here," tight ends coach Vince Okruch said. "It's been a great situation. I'm not happy that Jerome is injured, but the fact Jerome is [out] has given all those reps he would be getting to Travis, which has allowed travis to develop and progress at a rate that we're really pleased with.
