Still, to the old-timers, Rutgers football is so much more than it was. I never thought about going to Rutgers, but still the state school didn’t even send me stuff."įor the most part, Rutgers has fared better at keeping the top players at home over the last decade - its signature 2012 class included 12 New Jerseyans - though 11 of the 15 commitments in the 2015 recruiting class are from out of state and several high-profile New Jersey players decommitted from the 2014 class. I was just like, ‘Wow.’ People would ask. "I did track meets at Rutgers and everything. “I never got a letter or anything and I lived in New Jersey," Dayne said. The 1999 Heisman Trophy winner eventually got his homecoming as he spent the majority of his NFL career with the Giants, who made him a first-round draft choice. "So I'm not a Rutgers fan."ĭayne admits he did not want to go to Rutgers, which changed coaches from Doug Graber to Terry Shea during his senior year of high school, but he wanted to feel the love.

Neither Mason nor Rozier holds a grudge against Rutgers - in fact, both of them and fellow New Jersey native Franco Harris seem genuinely excited that their home state is going to be represented in the Big Ten - but the same can't be said for Overbrook High School alum Ron Dayne.

He entered camp as a likely third or fourth option on the depth chart but he showed his promise by registering the only scoring drive (70 yards) in the first scrimmage and did enough at Saturday’s second scrimmage to remain in the QB conversation. Following a less then stellar spring game performance and the arrival of Tom Savage, he very easily could have up and left the program but he stuck it out. DC is a kid who turned down SEC glory to come to Rutgers to be the then quarterback of the future in 2008. While those of us that have speculated for months about a move of Jefferson to TE can now pat themselves on the back, what truly amazes me is the unselfishness shown by DC making the move in an effort to help the team where it was needed most. It’s a clear sign from Schiano that the tight end depth situation behind Shamar Graves is much more of a concern now then providing depth and competition at QB where Natale and Savage are the clear No. It seems that just about everyone around here is talking about the move of DC Jefferson to TE.
