Colin McEvoy and Damion Moore both joined the Scarlet Knights by walking on to the program. Throughout the years, Rutgers’ walk-on program has yielded many exceptional collegiate players, including, most notably, current NFL vetarans Gary Brackett (Indianapolis Colts) and Shaun O’Hara (New York Giants). Brackett and O’Hara each worked their way from walk-on at Rutgers to team captain to captaining an NFL Champion. Brandon Renkart, another former walk-on turned captain for the Scarlet Knights, is a member of the New York Jets.
