The Rutgers University commit did not have a huge night statistically, but he did a lot of the dirty work, blocking on the edges all game long to help keep the Whirlies’ offense on the move. The one catch DJ did have was a nice one on a tight end dump play, where he was able to pull it in with one hand and gave the Whirlies a first down. DJ’s one catch was for a total of 12 yards.
