What made Braxton Kyle commit to Rutgers football on his official visit?

 

Rutgers secured a commitment from Braxton Kyle last weekend, adding a player who was very much under the radar but fills a significant need in the 2025 recruiting class.

 

Kyle was the second commitment for Rutgers during the official visit weekend. There is no denying his production, as over the last two seasons he had 75 total tackles and 13 sacks across 22 games.

 

A 6-foot-4, 205-pound defensive lineman from North Gwinnett High School (Suwanee, Georgia), Kyle has some big upside and a Big Ten frame.

 

Rutgers became his second Power Five offer, joining Georgia Tech. He also held offers from Appalachian State, Bowling Green, Marshall, Troy and UAB among others.
