Via Brian Dohn and Sam Hellman, safety Sheldon Royster is transferring from South Carolina to Rutgers and he will join the team on Sunday. Royster, who is from Woodbridge, NJ and attended St. Peter's Prep, is coming home and he will join his high school teammates Savon Huggins and Keith Lumpkin on the Scarlet Knights. The former 4 star recruit redshirted last year for the Gamecocks, and I think he will have 3 (it might be 4) years of eligibility remaining, starting next year.
Royster is a fast, physical player who can cover a lot of ground against the pass and deliver a powerful blow as a wrap up tackler. This is a very nice addition to the roster, improving a position that is going to be depleted by graduation after this season. He should at least compete for the starting spot at free safety in 2013.
