Which high school sends the most players to Rutgers football?

Bergen Catholic leads with 3 current players on the roster. Beyond the top, the feeder map is wide and shallow; most high schools are represented by 1 or 2 players.

Which states feed the most players to Rutgers football?

Ohio leads at 63% of the roster (5 players), then Texas at 25% (2) and North Carolina at 13% (1). The top three are above; ranks 4 through 10 unlock with a free account.

How does RawRecruit count players on the Rutgers football roster?

We pull the current 2025 Rutgers football roster from public school athletics sites and count each player against the home state and high school listed on the roster line.

Is Rutgers football a realistic target for an out-of-state player?

Yes. With 3 different home states on the current roster, Rutgers recruits nationally; no single region dominates. For an out-of-state kid, position fit and academic admission carry as much weight as where you live.

What does my kid actually do with this list of feeder high schools?

The list is the input. The seven-step playbook is the action. Profile your kid's real numbers, build a target list off the schools above, send the email coaches actually read, and run the visit on full information. The full playbook lives at /guides/football/diy-recruiting and was written by Kevin from the same road he walked his brother Kyle through.

Why does Rutgers recruit nationally instead of mostly New Jersey?

Because the talent pool a Big Ten roster needs is wider than any single state can fill. New Jersey leads at 63% of the roster (5 players), but the program rounds out depth at every position by recruiting nationally. The home-state breakdown above shows where the recruiting net pulls hardest.

How is this list different from the one on Rutgers' official roster page?

The official athletics page lists the current roster with names, positions, and class years. We pull from that public source, then resolve and clean the home-state and high-school strings so the feeder map adds up at the state and HS level. We also strip scrape artifacts (bracket escapes, junk sentinels) so the high schools are countable.

Why is RawRecruit giving away the rosters and coach contacts for free?

Because the data is the easy part. The hard part is keeping a school list current, filtering programs by your kid's real fit, and tracking coach records as staffs turn over every cycle. The free profile saves the work; the paid tiers exist for families who want deeper fit analytics. The free profile is enough for most.

Where does Rutgers football actually pull its high school talent from? Real numbers, not assumptions. Right now, the Rutgers football roster carries 126 players from 113 high schools across 3 states. No single high school dominates the feeder map; the top high school (Bergen Catholic) sends 3 players, and the recruiting net spreads from there. Kyle Monangai went from Don Bosco Prep, overlooked by Power-4 programs, to Rutgers Big Ten captain to the 2025 Chicago Bears. His older brother Kevin walked the same kind of road first, Villanova to the Eagles and Vikings as a player, then the Giants as a coach. Kevin coached his own brother through this exact program; that is why we built RawRecruit. These counts come from the current 2025 Rutgers football roster. Below: the high schools on the roster, the state-by-state breakdown of where the recruiting net pulls hardest (Ohio leads at 63%), the methodology, and the questions parents ask us most.

Real Outcome

One Brother, Out Of That List

The 126-player roster above is not theoretical. Kyle Monangai is on a 2025 NFL roster right now because he came out of Don Bosco, one of the New Jersey high schools that show up in the list above, and walked into Rutgers with no Power-4 offers.
