Rutgers QB Johnathan Lewis: Redshirt or not? How it will be determined

Related Topics: Gary Nova, Redshirt

CHICAGO -- Rutgers fans of the 2000s have seen big-name true freshman quarterbacks sit their entire first season (Mike Teel), get a taste of action in a two-passer rotation (Gary Nova) and make as many as 11 starts (Tom Savage).

So is Johnathan Lewis the next Teel, Nova or Savage?

In other words, will the three-star recruit out of St. Peter's Prep High School take a redshirt year, split snaps or serve as the primary quarterback for Rutgers in 2017?

Only time will tell -- because Rutgers coach Chris Ash can't yet.
