Rutgers Football HC Greg Schiano Hosts Press Conference After First Scrimmage
Schiano and Ciarrocca to review tape and determine where the quarterback race stands.
On July 28, 2026, Rutgers head football coach Greg Schiano hosted a press conference following his team's first scrimmage of summer training camp. During the event, Schiano addressed several topics, including the quarterback competition, the adaptation of new coaches, and the late addition of defensive lineman Sekou Kromah to the team.
When asked about naming a starting quarterback, Schiano stated that both Kirk and he watched the scrimmage game and would review the tape over the next 24 hours. They would then have extensive meetings to determine a decision. Schiano pointed out that the separation between the quarterbacks could depend on the teammates they are working with, so fairness had to be considered in their evaluation.
The coach also commented on the young receivers stepping up and making plays, stating, "Not gimmies. Make plays." Regarding the full-game simulation during the scrimmage, Schiano emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards to prevent penalties that could negatively impact the team's performance.
When discussing the addition of Sekou Kromah, Schiano explained that they brought him in because they believed he could contribute to the team's success. Although Kromah had only been with the team for a few days, Schiano saw potential in him and thought he could be an excellent addition to the rotation. However, it remained unclear how much the team would rely on him during the regular season, as he was likely seen as a supplemental player at a reasonable cost.
