PISCATAWAY -- In the wake of Rutgers' loss at Maryland that culminated a 2-10 campaign, coach Chris Ash said a goal on the recruiting trail was to "create competition at each spot on the football team.''
To that end, Ash was pleased with his 2017 recruiting class.
In unveiling a class that was universally ranked in the low-to-mid 40s nationally and between 9th and 11th in the 14-team Big Ten on Wednesday, Ash said the 29-player group meets several of the needs his staff sought on the recruiting trail.
