Rutgers builds Top 40 recruiting class with only 7 N.J. commits | Early signing day preview

Rutgers is making a late push in the early signing period.

Especially at home.

Rutgers added two class of 2018 commitments from in-state recruits -- three-star defensive end Kaymar Mimes of Long Branch and four-star athlete Daevon Robinson of Shawnee -- Monday night, just two days before signing national letters of intent in December is allowed for the first time.

Rutgers pushed its total to 22 verbal commits -- 20 of whom are expected to sign Wednesday -- and moved up in the national rankings to No.
