Rutgers Special Teams Ready to Dominate | Rutgers Scarlet News

Rutgers special teams are firing on all cylinders this season, led by a loaded roster of returning stars. Jai Patel, back for his final year as kicker, brings elite accuracy, school records, and Academic All-Big Ten honors. Jakob Anderson, in his third year as punter, averages over 40 yards per punt and ranks among the nation’s best. Michael OConnor returns as the reliable long snapper, handling every snap with precision. Jack Scullion dominates kickoffs, forcing opponents deep into their own territory. And while return game isn’t their focus, Ben Black III adds speed and game-changing impact—especially with clutch punt blocks that’ve turned into touchdowns. This unit is poised to be Rutgers’ secret weapon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
