It is clear that Rutgers is going to need some depth at linebacker this season.
The Scarlet Knights lost some key contributors in the middle of the defense from last season. The likes of Olakunle Fatukasi and Tyson Fogg will no longer man the position. To make matters even more difficult, the NCAA has rejected Drew Singleton’s appeal to return to Rutgers for the 2022 season.
Rutgers will look for some players to step up. Tyreem Powell has been viewed as the main option and the Scarlet Knights could look to build depth in many ways.
