Rutgers football added another name to its class of 2024 as running back Edd Guerrier announced his commitment to the program on Sunday, Aug. 6th.

A 5-foot-10, 195-pound back out of Port Charlotte (FL), Guerrier has racked up 2,562 yards and 32 touchdowns so far in his high school career in a total of just 25 games played. On top of that, he has also amassed 282 yards and one touchdown on 19 receptions.

"It wasn’t really a hard decision to make," Guerrier told TKR. "I was looking for the best opportunity and Rutgers is in the Big Ten. Plus we've been talking for a little while now and I felt the connection there."

Guerrier might've only received the offer from Rutgers on Sunday, but he's been talking with the staff for much longer than that.

"I Been building this bond for about four months," said Guerrier. "I've been talking a lot with coach (Damiere) Shaw and his overall message was how he likes how I play and wants me on his team."

Now Guerrier has never been to campus before, but he already has plans to get there for the program's season opener versus Northwestern.

"I've only been to New Jersey one time before and that was to visit my sister," he said. "I'm going to make my second trip up to campus on September 3rd."

With the commitment of Guerrier, Rutgers Football currently boasts the No. 32 ranked recruiting class in 2024 according to Rivals.com as he is unranked, but he should receive an update to his profile very shortly.
