PISCATAWAY — If Matt Flanagan didn't make a strong enough impression on Rutgers' new tight ends coach based on his play on the field, the fourth-year junior certainly impressed Vince Okruch based on his toughness.

A starter in all 12 games last season, Flanagan arrived for spring camp looking to prove himself all over again to Rutgers' new coaching staff. During the third practice of camp, Flanagan injured the pointing finger on his left hand and if that doesn't sound all that significant, he has a picture of it that he's not yet willing to publicly share.
