Which running backs could Rutgers look to replace Jonathan Taylor with?

Samuels, who is currently working with admissions, could be on his way to Rutgers, as long as he can get into the school.The 6-foot, 190-pounder is eligible to enroll at Rutgers in January and is able to compete immediately, as he attended Navy Prep, which falls under the guidelines of a prep school.

If Samuels were to enroll at Rutgers in January, it would be as a preferred walk-on. Samuels committed to Navy over an offer from Army out of Kingsway (Woolwich Township, N.J.) in 2015, but is a class of 2016 recruit.

However, he began to feel Navy wasn't the best fit following the completion of boot camp and summer practice, which began in July.
