Eight members of Rutgers have been named to preseason Phil Steele All-American or All-Big Ten teams.
Aron Cruickshank led honors a season ago for Rutgers when he was named the Big Ten’s Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year. He leads the Scarlet Knights once again with some prestigious preseason awards — and it began with being named a Walter Camp preseason All-American.
Now, Cruickshank has another honor to add to the list. He has been named a preseason Phil Steele First Team All-American as a kick returner. He has been named preseason First Team All-Big Ten for the same position.
