Rutgers continues to target in-state talent — whether that be out of high school or in the transfer portal.

On Monday, cornerback Eric Rogers announced via Twitter his commitment to Rutgers. He entered the transfer portal on Dec. 5 after a stint at Northern Illinois. Rogers decided to return home to attend Rutgers rather than going on a visit to Arkansas.

Rutgers recruited Rogers out of Burlington Township high school in 2019. Now, it is all coming full circle for the Jersey native, who grew up less than an hour away from Rutgers.
