Welcome young man. Hope you have a great athletic and academic career at RU.

Welcome to the Banks !

 

[Knight Shift]

Love this kid's attitude. Welcome!


This kid can move around in the pocket, take off and sling it.

 

[Knight Shift]

And our 2020 class is ranked 8th in the B1G. :sunglasses:

His sophomore tape is even better IMO. Junior year it looks like he had to spend a lot of time running for his life and couldn't sit down in the pocket very often.

Sophomore year.

Well, it will not be much of an adjustment for him when he takes the field here for Rutgers.

 

[Knight Shift]

Sophomore year.

Kid throws on a dime.

Kid throws on a dime.

Very acccurate on long and intermediate throws.

[rurahrah000]

Great start to 2020 class

 

[RUDead]

[MadRU]

I know, but players ask to be released from time to time

 

[CrazyfoRU]

Didn't Shameen Jones also attend Cardinal Hayes?

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Despite being ranked the No. 31 athlete in the country, Massoud will play quarterback in college.

Rutgers plans to infuse more movement at quarterback following its offensive struggles in 2018.

 

[RUSK97]

For godssakes, couldn’t he skip his final year of HS and just come for this fall?

We need a few more like him to catch Alabama, only 1,300 points behind.

If Dartmouth wanted him he must have college credits already.

Welcome to the Banks!

 

[newwavedave1]

Nice to have a QB as our 1st commit. Welcome to The Banks.

 

[Ronnie_B]

Sophomore year.

I'll tell you what, if he brought a couple of his receivers to the Banks, I wouldn't mind.

 

[RutgersROB]

Harlem Jets!

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Nice. Welcome to the banks Sofian!

If true, it would be hard to see Sitowski as the starter.

 

[gourdt]

Really thought Alaimo was going to be your QB. Didn't Matt just transfer to Rutgers? Do you think you bring in 2 QBs?

 

[bossnj1]

We’ve always needed (and never have had) a guy that defenses need to account for in the running game. Don’t need to be the fastest guy in the world just shifty with good feet. Other schools seem to always have that and we never do. Welcome!

 

[Bagarocks]

Welcome ta da Banks kid,
Ash is off to a good start, We get a few wins and Who knows where this class goes

 

[yesrutgers01]

Welcome aboard! Great way to start the recruiting season. I also love that he not only is a threat to run at any time but that he is 6ft2 and has a great arm.

I like the way that he while he was on the move still kept his eyes downfield and showed that knack for completing passes even if his protection breaks down.

Wouldn't be a problem if we were in the SEC. [roll]

The goal definitely should be two every class until they develop a solid QB room. I actually would welcome the addition of Wise or a grad transfer for 2019 & Massoud and Alaimo for 2020

We have two kids on our MLAX squad that skipped their senior seasons and enrolled early. One started as a 17 year old. We were the first to do this as far as I know.
