Thanks to a unique situation, Rutgers picked up its first football recruit for 2009 when junior Mohamed Sanu of South Brunswick High School gave the Knights a verbal commitment.
Sanu, a 6-2, 195-pounder, starred at quarterback and safety last fall for head coach Rick Mantz. Though a junior academically, Sanu's age will make him ineligible for high school football this year (he will be able to practice with the team but can't play in games). He will enroll early at Rutgers in January of next year, Mantz said.
"He's an incredible athlete," Mantz said. "He has a cannon for an arm. He can even punt a football 70 yards. He's a good-sized kid who can play almost anywhere and he has the desire to succeed."
