Year of the Underclassmen for Rutgers Football

Youth has been the story for Rutgers to start the season. Over half of the roster is underclassmen and they’ve played a hugely important role in Rutgers's 3-0 start. Rutgers is starting underclassmen at 10 positions and plenty more are listed in the two-deep. Many of these freshmen and sophomores are playing key positions for Rutgers such as quarterback, running back, and many positions on the defensive side of the ball.

Gavin Wimsatt & Evan Simon

These two underclassmen have been handed the reins to the Rutgers offense over the first three games. With Noah Vedral out with an injury, Wimsatt and Simon have held down the fort at quarterback.
