Well, that escalated quickly. Rutgers football offered Robbie Johnson Jr. this week and an official visit is already in place

A 6-foot-4, 230-pound defensive end from Salesianum (Wilmington, Delaware), Johnson pulled in an offer from Rutgers on Thursday. The Scarlet Knights join the likes of Duke, Old Dominion, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Temple and West Virginia in offering the talented edge rusher.

An official visit to Rutgers is set for this weekend. He also has a June official visit set up at Minnesota.

Johnson visited Rutgers during spring practice in March.

A multi-sport athlete, Johnson is also a standout on the basketball court where he is a forward and plays for an AAU team.

Johnson posted on social media about the offer, tagging head coach Greg Schiano and defensive end’s coach Julian Campenni.

Schiano currently has Rutgers as the No. 33 recruiting class in the nation with eight committed players.
