The running back room for Rutgers was one of the strengths of this team entering the season. It seems as though it was a bit too crowded and has led to a change being made.
On Wednesday, Greg Schiano confirmed that Al-Shadee Salaam has been working out at cornerback and is in the process of making the move to the secondary. Brian Fonseca of NJ Advance Media was first with the report.
“That’s where we’re headed with it,” Schiano said. “He’s going to play corner. He’s learning the position as we go.”
Salaam redshirted his first year in Piscataway before appearing in all 12 games last season.
