from Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Rutgers has named Boston College transfer Dylan Lonergan as their starting quarterback for the 2026 season, beating out AJ Surace in a tight race. Lonergan brings proven stats from his time at Alabama and BC, completing over 66% of passes for 2K+ yards and 12 TDs last year. He’ll replace drafted QB Athan Kaliakmanis, with Surace stepping into the backup role. Head coach Greg Schiano praised both players’ talent and maturity, calling the decision tough but necessary. With the QB spot locked down, Rutgers turns focus to their season opener against UMass on Sept. 3 — signaling a fresh start for the Scarlet Knights’ offense.
