Rutgers is entering a pivotal season as Chris Ash begins his third year as head coach. Members of his first full-year recruiting class (2017) are now either true sophomores or redshirt freshman.
It’s common for there to be a lot of initial roster turnover when a coaching change takes place and Rutgers has been no exception. The current roster features only 22 scholarship upperclassmen (13 seniors and 9 juniors).
Rutgers released their two-deep depth chart on Monday and the amount of contributors from the sophomore class is what really jumps out to me, especially at the offensive skill positions.
