Meet 'the new Kemoko' Turay, a Rutgers defensive end with a double-digit sack goal

PISCATAWAY -- The last time Rutgers had a player register double-digit sacks in a season was 2005, when Val Barnaby and Ryan Neill each recorded 10.

Keep that in mind when you hear the sack-total goal Kemoko Turay set during a recent conversation with a Rutgers football trainer.

"The goal I (set) was 13,'' the Scarlet Knights' fifth-year senior defensive end said. "Hopefully I'll go past that.''

Before you scoff, keep in mind that Turay appears to be rejuvenated after two injury-plagued campaigns in which he totaled just 12 tackles in 19 games.
