This article will provide a bio for every projected Rutgers offensive starter by Ourlads.com. Note: this list may not be entirely accurate, as we cannot be completely sure who Rutgers’ starters will be at every position until the season kicks off. QB: Dylan LonerganOne where we can confirm the starter is quarterback, because Rutgers officially names Boston College transfer Dylan Lonergan as QB1 after he defeated AJ Surace in this off-season’s quarterback battle. Last season, Lonergan completed 190 out of 284 passes for 2,025, throwing 12 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. However, 8 of his touchdowns last year came in the first two games, as he posted a ratio of 4 touchdowns to five interceptions the rest of the year. His overall completion percentage was 66.9%, which isn’t terrible compared to what Rutgers has seen in the past. Still, his game last year left much to be desired, something that has hopefully been remedied in training camp and by being put on a better team. RB: Antwan RaymondRunning back is another position that is under a starter lock for next season as Antwan Raymond is considered one of the best returning running backs in the country. Last season, he totaled 1,241 yards and 13 touchdowns on 244 carries, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. His best performance last season came against Maryland, where he carried the ball 41 times for 240 yards and one touchdown. He also showed good ball security, fumbling only twice. WR-X: KJ DuffContinuing down the line of players that are starting locks for the season, we have wide receiver KJ Duff. Last season, Duff proved himself to be one of the top wide receivers in the country by hauling in 60 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns. His size and wingspan will be a tremendous asset to Lonergan, who will be playing in a Rutgers backfield for the first time in his career. If he continues to put up numbers like he did last season, he could be one of the highest draft picks Rutgers has seen in a long time. WR-Z: Ben Black IIIExpected to start opposite KJ Duff this year, Ben Black will look to see a big jump in production from his 119 yards and eight catches while playing behind the starting trio of Duff, Ian Strong, and DT Sheffield last season. Black has played in every game for the past two seasons and has also been prominent on special teams. He will likely feature once again as the kickoff returner, as his track-level speed has been his biggest advantage.WR-SL: Jourdin HoustonSlot receiver is a position where Rutgers does not have too much depth or experience.
