After hosting their first official visit weekend for the 2027 recruitment class and landing 6 commits from it, Rutgers football hopes to land more commitments coming out of its next official visit weekend on June 5th, 2026. This event will be slightly smaller than the last one, hosting 13 players on campus, while last week the Knights hosted 16. So far, 8 players from last weekend’s visits have committed to Rutgers, and the Knights’ coaching staff hopes to repeat those results this upcoming weekend.

That begs the question, who is coming this weekend? Are they likely to commit? The answers to these questions are listed below!
