Your impressions of
Rutgers?
"Rutgers growing on me
stronger and stronger. They have a great camaraderie. They treat me like family.
There aren't any stars, everyone plays for each other and they make you feel at
home. It is really a great atmosphere. They have a great program that they are
building.
The win over Syracuse
definitely affected me. It shows that they have great potential. I know that
they will be great next year. If they keep getting the best Jersey players they
will be bowl material for sure."
