When Burlington Township's (N.J.) Everett Wormley pledged to Rutgers in April, he did so with an understanding that it will take time to build Rutgers into a national contender.
The 6-1, 185-pound wide receiver says he never foresaw a 78-0 loss at this stage of the program's development, but is fully committed to Rutgers and head coach Chris Ash's vision for the program.
Hence, when Ash addressed Rutgers' commits after Saturday's game, he helped reassure Wormley and his future teammates that the program is still moving in the right direction, despite the blowout loss.
