As a member of the Class of 2023, Lonergan was a four-star recruit out of Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He was the No. 13 overall prospect in the state, the No. 13 quarterback in the class and the No. 162 overall prospect in the class.

Lonergan joins a Rutgers team that wen 5-7 in 2025, just missing out on a third straight bowl game. He’ll be in competition with QB AJ Surace to succeed outgoing signal caller Athan Kaliakmanis.

Head coach Greg Schiano saw tremendous offensive output from Kaliakmanis at the QB position, aided by RB Antwan Raymond and WRs KJ Duff and Ian Strong. Raymond and Duff announced their returns to the team in 2026 while Strong entered the transfer portal and garnered interest from Cal and Notre Dame so far.

In his first season with the Scarlet Knights in 2024, Duff was mostly a rotational receiver, up until late in the season when he became a starter for the last three games of the season. He hauled in 27 receptions for 425 yards and one touchdown. 

A year later, he emerged into one of the Big Ten Conference’s best receivers, hauling 60 receptions for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns. The 1,084 yards was good for the third most in the Big Ten this season, just behind Makai Lemon and Jeremiah Smith, while also producing multiple viral highlight-reel catches against Norfolk State and Penn State.
