Expert Analysis
Earnest Daniels | Prep Redzone Scout
RJ Wortman’s recruitment exploded over the final stretch of November, and it ended with a major in-state win for Rutgers. After rising quickly on multiple recruiting boards, Wortman chose to stay home and commit to the Scarlet Knights — a move that strengthens the program’s New Jersey footprint.
A key factor in his decision was his connection to assistant coach Eric LeGrand, a former Rutgers standout who also graduated from Colonia. That relationship helped build trust, but Wortman’s production is ultimately what pushed Rutgers to make him a priority.
Wortman delivered a spectacular senior season, leading New Jersey in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns — a true triple crown performance. His size, his ability to stretch the field, and his consistency in traffic made him one of the state’s most difficult receivers to defend. Moreover, he proved he could play both ways, contributing on defense and showing the competitiveness that coaches value.
Rutgers likely views Wortman as a high-upside athlete with the potential to develop into a versatile offensive weapon. His blend of length, physicality, and ball skills fits the mold of receivers who flourish in the Big Ten. Now, with Wortman staying home, it will be fascinating to see how quickly he assimilates into Power Five football and how he grows within the Scarlet Knights’ system.
