Seven years after his brother left home, Kaymar Mimes is staying put.
The Long Branch High School star committed Monday to Rutgers and is expected to sign his national letter of intent this week as college football introduces a new early signing period. The three-star recruit is the third defensive lineman (joining Matthew Thomas and Travon King) added to a class that now has 21 commits.
Mimes held FBS offers from Wake Forest, Temple, Old Dominion and Connecticut. His older half-brother, Shilique Calhoun, picked Michigan State over Rutgers as a four-star recruit in the class of 2011 and became First-Team All-Big Ten and a NFL Draft pick of the Oakland Raiders.
