Rutgers officially announced their 2013 recruiting class on Wednesday, and there were no surprises, good or bad. The 17 members of the class who are not yet enrolled at the school signed their National Letter of Intent to formally become Scarlet Knights, and there were no last minute additions to the class.
Don Bosco defensive end Al-Quandin Muhammad stuck with his commitment to Miami, University School (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) linebacker Skai Moore unsurprisingly chose South Carolina, and Cedar Creek quarterback Damon Mitchell picked Arkansas over Rutgers. Texas punter Shane Tripucka decided to walk on at Texas A&M and Ade Aruna signed with Tulane.
As for former Rutgers targets, Immokalee, FL corner back Mackensie Alexander finally decided on Clemson, and his twin brother Mackenro pledged his allegiance to Auburn. St. Peter's defensive back DJ Singleton signed with Wisconsin, Tampa, FL tight end Travis Johnson picked Cincinnati (I guess Tommy Tuberville didn't walk out on a dinner with him), Staten Island running back Augustus Edwards chose Miami, and Immaculata defensive end Tashawn Bower signed with LSU.
Rutgers' rank dropped a few spots in the national rankings after they did not add anyone on the final day of this recruiting cycle. They had the 36th best class according to ESPN, the 44th best per Rivals, Scout's 31st best class and 48th best class by 247's measure. This class was very solid, but not great, for the Scarlet Knights and I'll have a full recap of it at some point in the coming days.
