Shawney Kersey commits
Scoring yet another recruiting victory in South Jersey, the Rutgers football team landed a verbal commitment Wednesday from Shawney Kersey, a highly touted wide receiver from Woodbury High School.
Kersey is the third player from South Jersey in the past week to commit to the Knights, joining Gerald Hodges, a defensive back from Paulsboro who projects as a college linebacker, and Logan Ryan, a cornerback from Voorhees. The school also has a commitment from Aaron Hayward, a running back from Carneys Point.
Kersey, rated a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, chose Rutgers over West Virginia, Virginia, Cincinnati and Iowa, among others.
