Greg Schiano Announces Roster Changes in First Training Camp Press Conference
Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano discusses housekeeping items during first camp presser.
On August 4, Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano addressed the media during the team's first press conference of training camp. During the event, Schiano disclosed that defensive back Zilan Williams will miss the season due to injury and that EDGE Canaan Edwards has departed the program. Williams, a senior, primarily served as a reserve player at cornerback and on special teams during the previous season, participating in all 12 games and recording four total tackles.
He has played in 25 games and made six total tackles across his four years at Rutgers. The reason behind Edwards' departure from the team remains unclear. Both incidents of roster changes at the start of training camp are not unusual, as numerous teams experience off-season attrition. Schiano also commented on the team's depth, stating that it is the most extensive he has encountered since returning to the position, and praised the improvements in the strength and conditioning program under the guidance of new coach Spencer Brown.
