Rutgers Spring Game visitor list is already over the century mark

Rutgers will ride a wave of recruiting momentum right into its annual spring game, which is set to take place this Saturday night inside High Point Solutions Stadium. Scarlet Nation has received confirmation of more than 100 prospects, a number that could expand by the weekend.

Heading up that impressive list of visitors is recent RU commits Bo Melton of Cedar Creek and Micah Clark of St. John Vianney. Those are not the only top 10 recruits in the state of New Jersey who will be on campus as The Hun School's Fred Hansard, Pope John's Dalyn Wade-Perry and Drew Singleton of Paramus Catholic are all expected to attend as well.

"We will have a number of top recruits here from the state and this region," head coach Chris Ash said during his Tuesday press conference. "Anytime they show up and there is tremendous fan support and a great environment they can get excited about, it helps in recruiting. And I think it's really important that our football team, the athletic department, the student body and the fans all work together to help create a great environment for not only the team, but for the recruits and people who want to be part of our program."

Scarlet Nation has compiled a complete list of Spring Game visitors which includes top prospects in the class of 2017 and 2018, along with a host of prospects who are already committed to Rutgers.
