PISCATAWAY -- Before he even participated in his first full-squad practice for Rutgers, Bo Melton appeared on ESPN as a SportsCenter Top 10 nominee thanks to a slam-dunk that went viral.

So has Melton, a consensus four-star wide receiver recruit, lived up to the hype two weeks into Rutgers' training camp?

"Bo Melton,'' Rutgers coach Chris Ash said, "has stood out.''

After hauling in 82 receptions for 1,442 yards and 18 touchdowns over his final two seasons at Cedar Creek High in South Jersey, Melton is apparently making the most of his playing time midway through Rutgers' training camp.
