Here are NJ.com's projections for the first Rutgers two-deep of training camp, keeping in mind that a few yet-to-arrive true freshmen will likely shape the depth chart before the Sept. 1 opener against Texas State:
Tariq Cole
- Redshirt senior
- 6-foot-6, 320 lbs.
- 31 games, 23 starts
Skinny: A starter at left tackle in each of the last two seasons, Cole – who stiff-armed a chance to forgo his final season and enter the 2018 NFL Draft — is a lock to anchor the left side of Rutgers' offensive line.
