Rutgers Football Recruiting: Commits Week in Review

As we watch the Scarlet Knights week in and week out, we will continue to check in on the Knights of the future to track their success on the high school gridiron. The highlighted Class of 2018 commits will be listed by ranking according to 247Sports.

Zihir Lacewell - 3* Wide Receiver, Tottenville (NY)

Rutgers’ top 2018 commit had an absolutely monster game this past weekend, stuffing the stat sheet on both sides of the ball. According to the man himself, Lacewell had 100 yards receiving with a touchdown, a 60-yard punt return touchdown, 10 tackles on defense and a forced fumble.

Amad Anderson - 3* Athlete, Curtis (NY)

Anderson was able to add to his highlight reel this past weekend, snagging two touchdowns in his team’s 54-14 win over Kennedy. While his 62-yard touchdown beating the Kennedy secondary was great, it is hard to get any better than this one-handed touchdown catch he pulled in.

Isaih Pacheco - 3* Running Back, Vineland (NJ)

Pacheco played the game of a lifetime this past Friday, leading his team to a blowout 60-6 victory over Cumberland just hours after attending his older sister’s funeral.

Jalen Chatman - 3* Dual-Threat Quarterback, Narbonne (CA)

Just a week after throwing for 523 yards and five touchdowns in a 56-50 loss to St. Louis (HI), Chatman had an bye week on his schedule. The versatile quarterback was able to travel across the country to watch a game in person at his future home.

Stevie Scott - 3* Running Back, Christian Brothers Academy (NY)

Scott’s senior season is on hold as of now, having suffered a foot injury on 9/16. Scott has not appeared in a game since.
