Rutgers Football: We Got Us a Quarterback, But Who is Gio Rescigno?

Gio Rescigno, who demonstrated enough talent in the second half of the Illinois game to be named the starter against Minnesota and beyond, is a redshirt sophomore who, even at the beginning of camp, was buried in the QB depth chart at Rutgers. Earlier this week, our own Griffin Whitmer wrote a good piece on Gio’s performance against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. I thought it would be a good idea to go back and remind everyone how it is that our newest starting quarterback came to be here on the banks of the ol’ Raritan.

Gio was a late addition to the 2014 recruiting class.
