Rutgers football received a major boost over the weekend as they secured a commitment from John Forster, a highly sought-after in-state prospect. Forster, a four-star running back from St. Joseph’s in Montvale, New Jersey, is the seventh four-star recruit to commit to the Scarlet Knights in this class.
Considered the fifth-best running back in the nation by Rivals, Forster had offers from several other schools including Boston College, Duke, Penn State, and Wisconsin. His decision to commit to Rutgers is a significant achievement for the team as they continue to attract top talent from their home state.
Forster visited Rutgers in May for an official visit and recently visited Illinois before ultimately choosing to commit to Rutgers. He expressed his excitement about joining the Scarlet Knights, stating that he believes the program can help him develop as a player and contribute to the team’s success.
With Forster’s commitment, Rutgers now boasts a top-10 national recruiting class according to Rivals. Forster sees this recruiting class as something special that can elevate the program to new heights. He is proud to be a part of the group and hopes to contribute to making history in his home state.
Overall, Forster’s commitment to Rutgers represents a major win for the team and reinforces their dedication to recruiting top talent both locally and nationally. His decision adds strength to an already impressive recruiting class and sets the stage for an exciting future for Rutgers football.
