The Rivals.com Camp Series touched down in central New Jersey Saturday, and many of the best athletes in the Northeast participated, at least the ones not attending spring games in Happy Valley or Columbus.
Kyle Flood and his staff are not prone to waste an opportunity like this, and many of the top players at the camp traveled the 3.7 miles from Piscataway High to High Point Solutions Stadium, to visit the Scarlet Knights.
New Offers Out to 2016 Stars
At least three class of 2016 players walked out of the Hale Center with offers to play for Rutgers: Cedar Creek Athlete Ahmir Mitchell; Camden WR Brad Hawkins and Camden DE Jamal Holloway.

— Austrian Robinson (@UG_Aus) April 12, 2014
Austrian Robinson is 6'6" 255 lb. DE from Trinity-Pawling High School in New York. He got his Rutgers offer on a visit about a month ago. Robinson's teammate and fellow Rutgers offeree Hergy Mayala also visited campus, as did other Rutgers offerees, including 6'4" 233 lb. New Rochelle DE/LB Qaadir Sheppard; 2016 Bronx, NY RB Tim Poindexter and 6'4" 230 lb. 3* Coatesville, PA TE Amir Ealey.
Commitment Watch
A contingent from Weequahic High School (Newark) will be on campus this week, including 2015 offeree Alkadair Ports. Ports may be very close to committing if this visit goes well. He is close with 2014 signee and 2013 Star Ledger Defense Player of the Year Sidney Gopre. Ports is a 6'2" 170 lb. ATH who will likely play DB at the next level.
