Today marks 2017 Spring Practice #2!
The most forgotten group of the #10strong at RU in 2016 was that of the Tight End. In 2017 though, new offensive coordinator Jerry Kill will bring back more variation to the Rutgers offense which includes an expanded role for the position. The big splash came in recruiting when versatile athlete and All-State high school performer Brendan Devera was brought in as an ‘H-back’. We don’t know much yet (and perhaps neither does Kill) about exactly how much this tight end/h-back/fullback group will play or in what alignments, but we do know there will be more of a place on the Knights roster for versatile players who block and catch the ball.
