The stage was set for the area’s top high school football recruits to absorb Rutgers’ game day atmosphere, and the weather was as good as Schiano could ask for on a September day.
A couple dozen targets basked in Rutgers’ sunny, breezy conditions that day, culminating in another “smart, high-IQ” addition to Kirk Ciarrocca’s quarterback room.committed to Rutgers over Virginia Tech, which Rutgers pulled away, 35-16, that day, after confirming his premonition that Rutgers is the school for him.
Archie caught up with Schiano and celebrated the win with Rutgers’ players and coaches following the game. A high school junior who could suit up for some Power Five teams today, Archie also bonded with A.J. Surace —— who he grew up near in Mercer County. A coach’s kid, Surace has embraced the role of Rutgers ambassador. He knows that in order to win, he needs good players around him.
“We are building that relationship still,” Archie said. “He’s doing his job recruiting me. And it was good to see Gabe while I was there.” The massive lineman, and son of ex-Penn State linebacker, Michael Sr., has a bond with Rutgers junior running back Sam Brown — Rutgers’ top offensive weapon when healthy, some would say — creating the chance that Carroll could cross state lines, and join Brown in Piscataway., also a four-star and one of the country’s fastest players, traveled to Piscataway from Washington, D.C., on his own dime, which speaks to the intrigue Rutgers has built with its strong start.
