Rutgers Preview

Rutgers, coming off a hard fought 26-23 victory over Virginia Tech, is well positioned for success.

kyle Monangai is our primary running back and has been mentioned as a possible Heisman Candidate.He is supported by Sam Brown, who is a bruiser.

The OL and running back are the heart and soul of this team. Hollín Pierce is an All American Candidate. Felter is an All Conference Candidate as is Zilinskas. Not a coincidence that our biggest runs have been towards the left side of the line or up the middle. Kobe Asamosh has played some, but is going to need time to acclimate, but will be a good player someday. RT Robert Needham is a Monster Right Tackle, who has bolstered our run game, while providing better pass protection.

The quarterback, Athan Kaliakmanis, is capable of throwing accurately and making the easy throws. I’m looking for a 58% completion percentage from him with 20TDs and 7 ints. Thus far, he is over 60%.

He will be supported by an exceptionally talented WR Corp. Dymere Miller is a true WR1, is fast and has exceptional hands. Ian Strong is a future Superstar, capable of dominating opposing DBs. Chris Long has had issue with injuries, but has demonstrated big play ability when healthy.

TE Kenny Fletcher will be the primary tight end, and has been productive.. The rest of the tight ends are a question mark, but hopefully some emerge. Konopka seems most likely, having previously contributed.


Malcolm Ray is the Nose Tackle, and he is backed up by 315 lb NT Zaire Angoy, anchoring the middle of the defensive line. Ray is complemented by future NFL starter, DT Kyonte Hamilton. They are sandwiched by a pair of All American potential Ends in Aaron Lewis and Wesley Bailey. They weren’t quite as productive as we hoped last year, as their coach was taking care of health issues. This year, we hope will be much different. 

The Linebackers are the heart and soul of the defense. Tyreem Powell is an All American and Butkus award Candidate. Lost to injury is Mohamed Toure, who was very productive last year. Desmond Igbinosun plays a hybrid LB-DB position and was exceptionally productive last year, with 64 tackles and 6.5 tfl.

The secondary could also be the nations best, with Flip Dixon and Shaquan Loyal vying for All American honors. As will Robert Longerbeam, who has slowly but surely built himself into one of the best DBs in the game. The other CB could be Bo Mascoe, who will be getting his feet wet.

Last year, we had too many deficiencies. This year, there are few, if any. Looking forward to our game Friday night.
