Make that three Rutgers football captains in three years to sign with Lunar Sports Group.

Defensive end Julian Pinnix-Odrick followed in the footsteps of fullback Michael Burton and linebacker Quentin Gause on Monday night when he signed with NFL agent, Pat Capra.

Pinnix-Odrick is hoping the next steps go as well for him as they did for the other two, both of whom boosted their stock by performing well in senior showcase games and at Rutgers Pro Day.

Janarion Grant must decide whether to return to Rutgers or enter the NFL Draft, just like Leonte Carroo had to in 2014

Burton was a fifth-round draft pick who is in his second season with the Detroit Lions, while Gause signed as a priority undrafted free agent.
