Charlie Gordinier has always had strong bloodlines, but now he also has his first Power 5 offer as in-state Rutgers broke the seal, Monday.
A 6-5, 230-pound tight end-slash-linebacker out of Red Bank (N.J.) Catholic, who also stars on the basketball court, Gordinier has been primed for such an opportunity for a long time now. His older brother, Jamie, played linebacker at the University of Miami before ending his career prematurely due to injury.
He endured a fruitful recruitment, leading to 20 offers and a high three-star rating.
And now it's Charlie's turn.
