2023 QB Ajani Sheppard switches commitment from Old Dominion to Rutgers

Rutgers now has its quarterback for the Class of 2023.

On Tuesday, NJ Advance Media reported that Iona Prep quarterback Ajani Sheppard has switched his commitment from Old Dominion to Rutgers.

On June 27, the 6-foot-2 quarterback verbally committed to Old Dominion over the likes of UConn, Air Force, Navy, and Bowling Green. The quarterback also held a number of FCS offers. The Scarlet Knights became Sheppard’s first Power Five offer and he jumped at the opportunity.

Sheppard now joins safety Ian Strong, wide receiver Dylan Braithwaite, and athlete Deondre Johnson as commits in the class hailing from New York.
