Rutgers cracks top 10 for 3-star N.Y. DT Romello Martin

Filling needs across the defensive front remains a top priority in wrapping up Rutgers' recruiting class of 2017. One name that hasn't gained much traction as of late is Romello Martin, a 6-3, 285-pound senior defensive tackle from Abraham Lincoln (Brooklyn, N.Y.).

Martin last visited Rutgers in April, as a slew of targets were invited to campus following Rivals Camp-N.J., which took place at Piscataway (N.J.) high school, just five minutes away.
