It appears the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
Tuesday, Rutgers extended an offer to Howard Cross III -- a 6-2, 235-pound sophomore defensive lineman out of St. Joseph (Mont.) -- following a visit to the school.
Cross's father, Howard Cross II, played 13 years in the NFL after ascending from the University of Alabama -- all of which he spent with the New York Giants. He is currently a co-host of the YES Network's This Week in Football, where he provides color commentary.
So one would think the Cross family would have this whole football recruiting thing figured out.
