Mohamed Toure, cousin of Kemoko Turay and South Jersey's top LB, commits to Rutgers

Rutgers finally gets its guy.

After months of back and forth consideration between Rutgers and Temple, Pleasantville (N.J.) three-star linebacker Mohamed Toure has finally settled on the Scarlet Knights.

A cousin of former Rutgers defensive end Kemoko Turay -- now a rookie with the NFL's Indianapolis Colts -- Toure has long envisioned himself potentially joining the cause.

Although he announced his intentions Thursday, Toure actually committed to multiple members of the Rutgers staff on August 15 via a video chat.

Toure secretly revealed his intentions to NJ Advance Media that day, stating "I'm in a real good spot with Rutgers and that's why I picked them," he said.
