Andrew Oleseh received an offer from Rutgers football on Saturday night, marking a significant moment in his recruitment. This offer came after a thrilling comeback win over Michigan State, solidifying Rutgers’ reputation as a powerhouse in the Big Ten.
The recruitment of Pennsylvania prospect Oleseh has gained momentum in recent months. He previously received offers from Liberty and UNLV since September. However, the offer from Rutgers is particularly significant as it is his first from a Power Five program.
Oleseh, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound athlete from Southern Lehigh in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, has primarily played as a wide receiver and defensive back. However, he is projected to transition into a tight end at the collegiate level. He is expected to graduate from high school in 2025.
In an interview, Oleseh expressed his enthusiasm for the offer from Rutgers and what it means for his future. He revealed that Rutgers’ interest in him began when he attended a camp, where they were impressed by his numbers but concerned about his weight. However, he has since made progress and currently weighs around 210 pounds, prompting Rutgers to extend the offer.
Rutgers’ stunning 27-24 comeback victory over Michigan State included two critical special teams plays in the fourth quarter. This win improves Rutgers’ record to 5-2 (2-2 Big Ten), placing them on the verge of bowl eligibility.
Oleseh described the game as amazing, highlighting Rutgers’ remarkable fourth-quarter comeback. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play Power Five football and praised Rutgers’ coaching staff for their genuine and thoughtful approach.
