The subject of a hotly contested recruiting battle, Mohamed Toure verbally committed to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on the eve of the season opener. He made it official Wednesday.
Toure the linebacker (not to be confused with the WR cousin from Newark with the same name) has good size and at times he looks like a man among boys delivering punishment to those who try to block him and engulfing ball carriers. Toure isn’t as tall or first step explosive as his cousin, former Scarlet Knight Kemoko Turay, but enters college with more football experience, including as a running back.
