Rutgers offensive coordinator Jerry Kill tabs his surprise player of camp
Published:
Rutgers’ offensive coordinator Jerry Kill met with the media on Sunday and during the availability, Kill gave his surprise player of the Scarlet Knights’ preseason camp.
And it was indeed surprising.
Wide receiver Everett Wormley was an under-the-radar recruit, just a two-star prospect. But he is Kill’s “surprise player” of camp.
“Wormley is, strength-wise, size-wise, ready to play,” Kill told nj.com. “He’s an athletic dude. I mean, he’s done well. Really, really done well.”
“Making big plays. Throwing the ball over the top (he’s) catching the football. He’s made a lot of big plays going up and getting the ball. That’s been impressive. He’ll block you and he’s a big and physical kid at his age as a freshman.”
Rutgers and Wormley kick off their season on Sept. 1 against the Washington Huskies at 8 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1.
