Notes:
A three-year starter for the Scarlet Knights --- Named 1st Team All-Big East in 2011 --- Ineligible for senior season in high school because he was 19-years-old --- Began college career as a safety before moving to wide receiver and also saw action as a running back and "Wildcat" quarterback --- Owns the Rutgers and Big East records for single-season and career receptions --- Set a Big East record for receptions in a game with 16 --- Carried the ball 125 times for 653 yards (5.2 avg.) and 9 touchdowns --- Completed 8 of 18 passes (44%) for 207 yards with 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions --- Returned 29 punts for 121 yards (4.2 avg.) and 0 touchdowns --- Profiles as more of a possession type and red zone threat but should be able to compete for a starting job at the next level --- Not particularly flashy or a big play guy but is a good football player who can contribute in a number of different ways.
