Rutgers added a second surprise commit on National Signing Day. Just an hour after adding Boston College grad transfer Malachi Moore, Mississippi DT Julius Turner has signed with the Scarlet Knights.
Turner, a two-star recruit, flipped from Louisiana Tech. He originally committed to the Bulldogs last July, but Chris Ash and his staff began to express interest in him in recent weeks. Turner was offered on January 12, and took an official visit to Rutgers on January 22. On January 29, Ash and defensive line coach Shane Burnham visited Turner, and today he officially joined the Scarlet Knights' recruiting class.
