It's been rumored for the past month that Rutgers could add potential Boston College running back grad transfer and former St. Peter's Prep (Jersey city, N.J.) standout, Jon Hilliman to the fold. But NJ.com recently confirmed with the one-time Rutgers commit that he's graduated from BC, is home in Plainfield and will be taking a visit to Rutgers this Friday to potentially secure a roster spot if all goes well.
Hilliman rushed for 638 yards and five TDs in 2017. But the emergence of freshman running back AJ Dillon -- who accumulated 1,589 rushing yards and 14 TDs on 300 carries for the Eagles this year -- has prompted Hilliman to assess all of his options moving forward.
