Rutgers Weekly Opponent Player Watch: Eastern Michigan’s Jeremiah Harris

Rutgers played a tough game on Friday night against an elite offense and defense from #8 Washington. However, they will face an opponent that’s unranked but one they must respect with Eastern Michigan. EMU went to their first bowl game in 2016 since 1987 at the Bahamas Bowl. Rutgers might be favored by Las Vegas but they shouldn't tread lightly with EMU.

A key player that Rutgers must focus on is RS-Junior defensive linemen Jeremiah Harris. He was named First Team Preseason All-MAC Selection for EMU and can be a terror on defense with his tenacity and pursuit of the football.
