Raheem Blackshear is a first year player at Rutgers this season, but he seems to have already begun to make quite a name for himself among fans, as well as opponents. So who is this guy?

Well, Raheem is a 5’9”, 185 pound running back out of Warminster, PA (outside Philadelphia) who played his high school football career in town at Archbishop Wood HS. At Archbishop Wood, he was a catalyst player that led the school to defeat powerful Harrisburg HS last December 9 and win the PIAA Class 5A title. He ran through a strong defense for 236 yards and scored three touchdowns in that effort.
