Rutgers football recruiting gets a big boost from the addition of UCLA transfer tight end Matt Alaimo (St. Joseph’s Regional, Montvale, N.J.). The six-foot-five playmaker was a three-star prospect, and held offers out of high school from Alabama, Texas A&M, Auburn, Pitt, Florida and other Power Five programs.
After a redshirt season in his first year of college, Alaimo was looking to make a return home to be closer to family and friends. Alaimo visited campus last Friday, alongside his parents, and made a return visit Sunday for the Rutgers wrestling match against Oklahoma State.
