Coming out of high school, Wimsatt was ranked among the top quarterback prospects in the 2022 class as he was invited out the to the Elite 11 Finals, but just missed the cut of the top 11. Later on that summer, Wimsatt made the decision to skip his senior year of high school and enrolled at Rutgers right before the start of the 2021 season.
Behind Wimsatt on the depth chart is junior QB Evan Simon who will serve as his main backup and then behind him is true freshman Ajani Sheppard who enrolled earlier this year.
How will Wimsatt perform this season? Only time will tell, but with an experienced OC now running the show in Kirk Ciarrocca that should help with his development.
