Rutgers is focused on filling the last few spots in its 2020 class, but its also getting a head start on the 2021 cycle.

While Rutgers will search all over the country for players to become Scarlet Knights, the board always starts in New Jersey. One of the top players in the Garden State for 2021 is West Orange all-purpose back Shakhi Carson.

The 5-foot-9, 175-pound Carson already has two offers, in Kentucky and UMass, and is getting a lot of interest from Power 5 programs, including Rutgers. He spoke with The Knight Report about the latest in his recruitment.
