After several conversations about the crowded backfield for running backs this season, Rutgers Head Coach Chris Ash surprised many when he announced today that true sophomore Trey Sneed will redshirt for the 2017 football season.
As reported earlier today by nj.com’s Ryan Dunleavy, Coach Ash said, "We have a pretty crowded backfield, and there's no reason to burn a year if we don't have to," Ash said. "I think Trey is going to be an outstanding football player for us. He could go play for us this year, but we'd love to be able to have another year out of him down the road.
