Five Rutgers Players Who Can Establish Their Roles As Big Ten Play Begins

Following a 0-2 start to the season, Rutgers Scarlet Knights are entering Big Ten play with five players poised to establish their roles. Moses Walker led the list, picking off two passes and recording a sack against Boston College, bringing him two interceptions and one sack for his debut season. Jourdin Houston, the starting slot wide receiver, has proven to be a reliable option in the passing game, recording four catches for 42 yards against UMass and five catches for 40 yards against BC.

Clay Thevenin has also grown in importance, carrying the ball seven times for 36 yards and recovering a fumble against BC. Defensive end Sekou Kromah, who joined the team via transfer portal, shows potential to anchor the defensive line with his size and disruptive style. Lastly, cornerback Bradlee Jones has demonstrated the ability to make impactful plays, forcing a fumble against BC.

These players, while not the top five on the roster, could help establish their positions as the season progresses.
