[Piscataway, New Jersey]-- As we reported after week one of the recruiting process concluded, coach
Greg Schiano wanted quarterback
Anthony Clark to commit to Rutgers. He fealt he could be the starting quarterback in two years, a redshirted year and a year to learn the offense as a freshman.
It looks like that will be the plan, as Clark committed to be a Scarlet Knight during week two, Rutgers only commit that week.
Clark, who stands at 6'0, 175 pounds, is out of New York. He is said to be a quarterback who can throw the ball as well as an above average scrambler. Clark was also garnering interest from Syracuse and UNC.
Of course, nothing is set in stone, but with what the Scarlet Knights have right now Clark would spell backup quarterback
Jabu Lovelace not after this season, but next season, and be the Scarlet Knights quarterback for his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons.
"We're really excited about this kid," said Schiano.
"He's going to fit in here at Rutgers nicely, and will have an impact in a couple of years on our program."
During the week three recruiting process Schiano was able to land another defensive tackle, the only recruit of that week.
Ramon Curtis, out of Donaldsonville, Louisiana, is expected to battle for a roster spot, but unsure on whether or not he will be able to gain a roster spot.
While Schiano has landed a lot of the targets he has been after, there is still one out there on the recruiting list he would very much like to land.
Middle linebacker
D.J. Moss, from Panama City, Florida, has yet to commit to a school. The Scarlet Knights are believed to be the front runners in the Moss debate, but other schools are interested.
If Moss were to commit to Rutgers, he could see limited time serving as the Scarlet Knights backup middle linebacker this season, as well as a special teams player.
"We're excited about all of these guys coming in here," said Schiano.
"Obviously, after getting Clark to commit, we will now shift our attention to Moss to come and be our middle linebacker."
