Evan Grossman of the NY Daily News wrote that “big-time college football has finally arrived at Rutgers”, due to Ash’s arrival. He discusses Ash’s background from Ohio State and includes several gushing quotes from Darius Hamilton regarding changes made.

ESPN CFB Analyst Kirk Herbstreit Raves About Ash

Lineman Are First Class At Rutgers

Ryan Dunleavy of NJ Advance Media revealed that another change by Ash is that offensive and defensive lineman will sit in first class on plane rides for away games. This was not the case before his arrival.

Dunleavy highlights how Ash has made players on both lines a priority within the program, including being able to eat first at team meals. Captain Chris Muller stated how much that means to them.
