Lineman Commits to Rutgers Football Team

Lineman commits to Rutgers football team

Yesterday, April 13, 2007,
Devon Watkis became the second player to commit to the Rutgers football team\’s 2008 incoming recruiting class, pledging his intentions to play for the Scarlet Knights after attending Wednesday\’s spring practice. The 6-foot-7, 275-pound offensive lineman turned down interest from Maryland, UConn, Duke and Syracuse after receiving a scholarship offer from Rutgers\’ coaching staff on Tuesday.

\”The recruiting process was fantastic, but it was also a little stressful for me,\” said Watkis, currently a junior at Longwood High School in Coram, N.Y. \”I think Rutgers is a great choice. Their program is really on the rise, their academics are terrific and they have great athletic facilities.\” Watkis is the second recruit for Rutgers\’ 2008 incoming class, joining Rashad White, a tailback from Teaneck who committed in mid-March. . . . Rutgers junior All-American Todd Frazier, a Toms River High School South graduate, has been included on College Sports Television\’s National Player of the Year watch list.

Frazier is listed among 23 candidates receiving votes along with a top-10 list on the network\’s Web site as voted on by a panel of 10 college baseball journalists from around the country. The junior ranks among the Big East leaders in virtually every offensive category. He leads the conference in home runs (13), runs scored (46) and total bases (97), ranks second in RBI (38), slugging percentage (.802), walks (31) and triples (2), fourth in on-base percentage (.510), sixth in stolen bases (13), seventh in hits (47) and ninth in batting average (.388).
