Rutgers Football 2020 Early Signing Period Day One Report Card

Throughout the day Wednesday, we provided OTB readers updates on players formally committing to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football program. The early signing period allows commits to sign a national letter of intent (NLI) from Dec 18 - 20 for high school players. (JUCOs: Dec 18 - Jan 15) The next official window high school prospects can sign an NLI begins the first Wednesday in February. So in 2020, that is February 5 through April 1 for Division 1 programs.

When most fans attempted to go to sleep Tuesday night, Rutgers had 17 verbal commits the hope being all would commit Wednesday, plus an outside chance of a surprise.
