Since there are only six more Wednesdays until the first national early signing period, we will do a weekly series that we began a season ago, where we covered each Rutgers recruiting class. The year by year reviews begin next week with the recruiting class of 2017. Before that, let’s begin with walk-ons and transfers.
The transfers are often high prospects needing a change of scenery to unlock potential. Of course walk-ons can make their mark at RU and even reach the pros, Shaun O’Hara and Gary Brackett the most notable recently. In the case of Mitchell and Washington below, they were thought to be the biggest reasons for hope in 2017.
