Rutgers football commit analysis: Can DL Malachi Burby's addition help Knights get back on track?

Rutgers recently added a key piece to its roster in Malachi Burby, a 6-2, 275-pound explosive defensive tackle with a motor out of Cheshire Academy in Cheshire, Connecticut. Burby picked Rutgers over offers from Wake Forest -- where he de-committed from -- UConn, Syracuse, Temple, Buffalo, Old Dominion, UMass and Fordham. But how much of an impact will the three-star have on a program in need of depth at multiple positions?

One-technique

Standing 6-2, 275, Burby has a sturdy build and adequate size to compete in the trenches in the Big Ten.
