2012 SEASON PREVIEW
The 2012 season marks the beginning of the Kyle Flood era for Rutgers football. Flood, a seven-year veteran of coaching “On the Banks”, takes control of the Scarlet Knights after the squad completed a successful 9-4 campaign in 2011 that included four BIG EAST wins and a 27-13 victory over Iowa State in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. RU’s new leader previously held the role of assistant head coach since 2008 and oversaw the offensive line since coming to Piscataway in 2005. Rutgers fans across the nation have had fond memories rekindled of the last time an assistant coach on staff at RU was promoted to the head coaching position. Frank Burns, who replaced John Bateman in 1973, went on to become the winningest coach in school history. The hiring of Flood has Scarlet-clad fans in a frenzy to see the 2012 season begin, in which the RU squad will take the field in new Nike Pro Combat uniforms. Flood’s first squad is set to return 16 starters from last season’s bowl-winning squad – RU’s fifth-consecutive postseason victory – tied for the longest active streak in the nation.
OFFENSE
The Rutgers offense has experience and youth to mix under new offensive coordinator Dave Brock. Junior Chas Dodd and sophomore Gary Nova split time at quarterback in 2011, combining for 3,127 passing yards and 21 touchdown passes. RU’s quarterback play will be supplemented by a full stable of talented wide receivers. Led by seniors Mark Harrison and Tim Wright, the group features size, speed and versatility. Brandon Coleman, who stands 6-6, totaled 17 catches for 552 yards and six touchdowns last season. Coleman averaged over 30 yards per reception on the season. Quron Pratt, a junior, returns with a team-best 32 receptions for 327 yards and one score.
Rutgers’ BIG EAST-leading kick returner, Jeremy Deering, made the move to receiver from running back to bring his speed and agility to the group. The All-BIG EAST Second Team kickoff returner ran back 17 kicks for 530 yards (31.2) last season, including a 98-yard return to kick-start RU’s comeback in the 20-17 overtime victory against USF on Nov. 5, 2011. Also bringing top-notch speed to wide receiver is sophomore Miles Shuler. The former high school quarterback was a U.S. Army All-American game participant. Rutgers returns two high-profile sophomore running backs from last season in Jawan Jamison and Savon Huggins. Jamison rushed for 897 yards and nine touchdowns on 231 carries in his first year of action after an initial redshirt season. Huggins was the highest-rated recruit to ever sign with RU when he joined the Scarlet Knights in 2011. The true freshman rushed for 146 yards on 56 carries last season. Bolstering the run game is sophomore fullback Michael Burton, who started three games in his first Rutgers campaign. Fellow classmate Sam Bergen emerged in the spring to back up the position, along with redshirt freshman Paul Canevari. The tight end position returns experience from the 2011 squad in seniors D.C. Jefferson and Paul Carrezola. Jefferson started nine games for RU last season, making 12 catches for 118 yards. Carrezola found the end zone with an 11-yard scoring grab in a 38-26 victory over Ohio on September 24, 2011. He finished with four catches for 35 yards in 2011. Backing up the tight end position are senior Beau Bachety, junior Malcolm Bush and redshirt freshman Tyler Kroft. The trio showed promise during RU’s spring practice sessions, routinely making catches. The Rutgers offensive line, a group overseen by Flood in his time as an assistant coach for the Scarlet Knights, returns five players who 9
2012 SEASON PREVIEW started at least three games in 2011. Betim Bujari, Andre Civil, Kaleb Johnson, Antwan Lowery and David Osei bring experience back into the trenches for RU’s 2012 campaign. In total, the five Scarlet Knights have made 37 career starts on the offensive line. Last season, Johnson earned recognition on the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-America team. As a true freshman in 2011, he started 11 games for Rutgers at right tackle.
Wilson comes to Rutgers after spending the previous six seasons as head coach at Columbia University. He previously served as offensive coordinator at UConn for four seasons. He was one of five finalists for the Frank Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach in 2004.
Juniors Dallas Hendrikson and Bujari battled during the spring for the center position. Hendrikson seeks his first season of making major contributions in the trenches, along with former Maryland three-year starter R.J. Dill. The 6-7 offensive tackle transfer with 30 career starts adds additional experience to Rutgers’ big blockers. Rounding out the
Wroblewski comes to Rutgers after a five-year stint at the University of Delaware in the same capacity. The Blue Hens’ offensive lines paved the way for success in his time at UD, including a 12-3 record and advancing to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision title game in 2010.
group of linemen competing for playing time are sophomore Taj Alexander, junior Matt McBride and senior Devon Watkis. The attacking style taught by Brock has benefited a number of individuals in the NFL, including Hakeem Nicks (New York Giants), Josh Freeman (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Jordy Nelson (Green Bay Packers) and Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints). While at Kansas State in 2008, Brock served as offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. The Wildcats ranked 18th nationally in passing (269.6) and 19th in scoring offense (34.9). Other fresh offensive coaching faces “On the Banks” include: Darnell Dinkins (tight ends), Rob Spence (quarterbacks), Norries Wilson (running backs) and Damian Wroblewski (offensive line). Dinkins brings experience from the highest level of football, having played eight seasons with four different organizations in the NFL. Dinkins won a Super Bowl ring in 2009 as a member of the New Orleans Saints. He spent the 2010 season as assistant tight ends coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A 23-year collegiate coaching veteran, Spence has 16 seasons of experience as an offensive coordinator. He will apply his knowledge of the game to RU’s quarterback position. Among the schools he served as 10
offensive coordinator include Clemson, Toledo, Louisiana Tech and Syracuse.
DEFENSE The Rutgers defense made big plays throughout the 2011 season, finishing tied for fifth in the nation in turnovers gained. The Scarlet Knights look ready to be after the football even more in 2012, as the team welcomes back eight starters from last season’s swarming defensive unit. Rutgers’ defensive secondary includes senior Brandon Jones and junior All-BIG EAST Second Team selection Logan Ryan back at cornerback, with senior All-BIG EAST First Team performer Duron Harmon returning at safety. The three started all 13 games in 2011 and intercepted a combined 10 passes. Harmon led the group with five picks to rank second in the BIG EAST. The other safety spot in the RU secondary is set to be occupied by sophomore Lorenzo Waters and senior Wayne Warren. The two Scarlet Knights exited Rutgers’ spring practice with Waters in line to receive the starting nod. Waters made 10 tackles last season, while Warren totaled 28 stops, including 2.5 sacks. Rutgers’ defense is marked by the return of senior linebacker Khaseem Greene, the 2011 BIG EAST Co-Defensive Player of the Year. Greene elected to finish his career “On the Banks” over a potential early start on an NFL career. He led the conference in tackles with
2012 SEASON PREVIEW
141 stops and will look to add more to his tally after missing spring practice due to injury. Fellow senior Steve Beauharnais anchors the defense from the middle linebacker spot. He trailed only Greene in tackles, making 77 stops. His total included a team-leading 16 tackles-for-loss. Junior Jamal Merrell and sophomore Kevin Snyder head into the fall competing for the third starting linebacker position. Snyder showed his versatility in the spring by filling in for the absence of Greene. The unit also welcomed the emergence of redshirt freshman Quentin Gause and converted fullback Robert Joseph, a junior. Rutgers’ defensive linemen offer an intriguing mixture of size and speed. Filling the middle for the Scarlet Knights is the ever-present Scott Vallone. The senior leader has started 38 games in his career, making 143 tackles. He recorded a personal-best 58 tackles last season, including 8.5 tackles-for-loss and 2.5 sacks. Vallone is joined in the interior by junior Isaac Holmes, who notched 12 tackles while seeing action in all 13 games as a freshman in 2011. Junior Jamil Merrell, twin brother of linebacker Jamal Merrell, also figures into the mix with six starts to his name at defensive tackle. Redshirt freshmen Al Page and Marquise Wright both look to add depth to the tackle position group in their first seasons of action. The Scarlet Knights’ defensive ends look to be an imposing force with experienced seniors Ka’lial Glaud and Marvin Booker and juniors Michael Larrow and Marcus Thompson leading the way. All four started at least one game last season. Larrow appeared in six games and started five for the Scarlet Knights before a leg injury ended his 2011 campaign. Glaud and Thompson received starting nods for two contests last season, while Booker started once. The foursome’s experience and playmaking ability is an exciting prospect for RU fans with 44 combined tackles and 8.5 tackles-for-loss between them last season. Converted wide receiver Jawaun Wynn and former linebacker David Milewski, both sophomores, provide further depth to the defensive end position.
Robb Smith begins his fourth season on the Rutgers sideline and his first as defensive coordinator under Flood. The former special teams coach at RU will also have the Scarlet Knights’ highly reputed secondary under his tutelage. Rutgers’ new defensive coaches bring experience and intensity to an already strong group of players. First-year coaches on the defensive side of the ball include: Dave Cohen (linebackers), Jim Panagos (defensive line) and Joe Rossi (special teams/defensive assistant). Cohen, formerly the head coach of Hofstra from 2006-09, will head RU’s linebackers. Cohen most recently served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Western Michigan the past two seasons. Panagos will coach Rutgers’ defensive line coming off a five-year stint as defensive line coach at Central Florida. The Knights appeared in three bowl games during his time there. Serving as a special teams and defensive assistant coach will be Rossi, who last served as defensive coordinator at Maine since 2009. In 2011, the Black Bears ranked 26th nationally in sacks, 31st in pass defense and 25th in pass efficiency defense.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Rutgers seeks to replace four-year starting kicker San San Te and has a freshman in contention to take the spot. Kyle Federico, an early enrollee who participated in spring practice, holds the top spot on RU’s post-spring depth chart after a solid debut for the Scarlet Knights. Sophomore Nick DeLouisa is set to provide depth behind Federico. Senior Justin Doerner resumes his punting duties for Rutgers after earning All-BIG EAST Second-Team honors in 2011. He ranked fourth in the conference with a 40.3 yards per punt average. Solidifying the group is two-year starting snapper Robert Jones. The junior has appeared in 25-straight games for the Scarlet Knights.

RUTGERS HEAD COACH
KYLE FLOOD Kyle Flood was named the 29th head coach at the Birthplace of College Football on January 31, 2012. Flood, who served on Rutgers’ coaching staff for the previous seven seasons, assumed the head coaching vacancy created after Greg Schiano resigned his position to become head coach of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. One constant on any coaching staff with Flood is how successful those teams have fared. As an assistant coach, 16 of Flood’s 17 seasons his teams have finished with winning records, including earning a National Championship at Delaware. The last time Rutgers promoted an assistant coach on staff to the head coaching position was the naming of Frank Burns to replace John Bateman in 1973 — and Burns became the winningest coach in school history. A highly respected figure in the coaching profession, Flood has served as the assistant head coach of the program since 2008 and has been a key part in Rutgers’ six bowl appearances over his seven-year tenure in Piscataway. In addition to his four years as the assistant head coach, Flood has been in charge of the offensive line since coming to RU in 2005. Known as an excellent tactician with strong recruiting ties, Flood has served on the coaching staff of the team with the nation’s longest active bowl winning streak at five games. While being part of a program producing victories at a rate unprecedented in Rutgers’ history, Flood has understood the value of academics for the Scarlet Knights. In 2010, Rutgers’ football program ranked first in the nation in Academic Progress Rate and in 2011 the team followed up with the nation’s No. 2 ranking. During his time 'On the Banks', the Rutgers offensive line has consistently produced top-level talent, including several of which who have gone on to the National Football League. Most recently, Anthony Davis became the highest player ever drafted in Rutgers history as the 11th overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. Davis has started every game of his two-year career with the San Francisco 49ers at right tackle and helped guide the 49ers to the NFC Championship game this season. In 2011, Flood helped tutor true freshman right tackle Kaleb Johnson into one of the nation’s premier rookie offensive linemen, earning Freshman All-America honors. In addition, senior offensive guard Art Forst collected All-BIG EAST first team honors while senior offensive guard Desmond Wynn was named to the All-BIG EAST second team. Since arriving at Rutgers, Flood has coached 10 All-BIG EAST first or second team selections on the offensive line, one All-American and two Freshman AllAmerica honorees. Flood has helped engineer some of the most potent offenses in Rutgers history – evident in a record-breaking 2007 season. The Scarlet Knights' offensive line ranked second in the nation with just 10 sacks allowed in addition to an RU offense that became the first in NCAA history to have a 3,000-yard passer, 2,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season. The Rutgers offense was ranked 18th nationally in total offense in 2007. The offensive line featured two of the top tackles in the nation in Pedro Sosa and Jeremy Zuttah. Both players earned All-BIG EAST honors and were also invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, with Zuttah becoming a third round selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Flood added run game coordinator to his duties in 2007 and his offensive line helped pave the way for All-American running back Ray Rice, who rushed for a school and then-BIG EAST record 2,012 yards that season. Rice went on to become one of the most-recognizable faces in the NFL en route to consecutive Pro Bowl appearances in 2010 and 2011. In 2006, Flood coached an offensive line that helped Rutgers to one of its most productive seasons as the group relinquished the fewest sacks in the nation with just eight. His unit was regarded as one of the best in the country and featured Cameron Stephenson and Darnell Stapleton, 12
both who played in the NFL. Flood's corps of hard-nosed blockers helped guide Rice to an All-America season, as he finished second in the nation with 1,794 yards. Flood came to Rutgers after three seasons at the University of Delaware, where he helped the Blue Hens to a 30-11 record, including a 15-1 mark in 2003 en route to the NCAA FCS National Championship and a share of the Atlantic 10 title in 2004. He also served as assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator during his stint. Prior to his three seasons at Delaware, Flood was offensive line coach at Hofstra from 1997-2001. While at Hofstra, he helped the Pride earn berths in the NCAA FCS playoffs in 1997 and 1999-2001. The Pride were among the top offensive teams in the nation during his tenure, ranking second in total offense, fourth in passing and fifth in scoring in 2001. Flood, a 1993 graduate of Iona College, was a four-year letterwinner for the Gaels. A high school teammate of former Rutgers All-American tight end Marco Battaglia at St. Francis Prep High School in Queens, N.Y., Flood earned first team All-Liberty Conference honors in 1991 and served as team captain of the Gaels in 1992. Flood's first college coaching position came in 1995-96 as offensive line coach at Long Island University-C.W. Post. While coaching at C.W. Post, he helped the team to the ECAC Division II Eastern title in 1996. Flood began his coaching career at St. Francis Prep in 1993, as both offensive and defensive line coach in 1993-94. Flood and his wife, Amy, are the proud parents of a son, Kyle, and a daughter, Isabella. Hometown: Bayside, N.Y. Alma Mater: Iona, 1993 Born: 1/20/71 Age: 41

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT KYLE FLOOD:
Marco Battaglia, 1995 Consensus All-America tight end and former high school teammate (Rutgers 1992-95) “I am very excited. Kyle is a great choice and this is a great opportunity for someone in the program. For the last seven years he has shown he is capable to handle this job and was a key part of our success with Greg over the years. He has great character and is the type of guy who people can count on. He is a great quality human being.” Anthony Davis, San Francisco 49ers starting right tackle and the 11th overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft (Rutgers 2007-09) “Coach Flood is the right guy for the job. The kids that get to play for him are lucky and their parents should be comfortable knowing that their kids are not only in a great program, but also with a great coach. More importantly, Coach Flood is a great father figure and a great man!” Kevin Haslam, Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman (Rutgers 2005-09) “I think Coach Flood will do a great job as head coach of the program. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had in the game of football. The first thing he said every year to us was ‘Football is about the details’ and that’s what I learned most from Coach Flood and I still use that every day. He is extremely competitive and wants the best out of everyone.” Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens starting running back, 2010 and 2011 NFL Pro Bowl selection (Rutgers 2006-08) “Coach Flood is a great man and a great coach. It was a pleasure to have him as a coach while I was at Rutgers.” Greg Schiano, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach (Rutgers Head Coach 2001-11) “I am extremely happy for Kyle, his family and the entire Rutgers Football family. It is exciting to see a friend whom you coached with for so many seasons get an opportunity to lead these terrific young men.” 13

2011 NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL Chas Dodd hit Brandon Coleman for an 86-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter and Jawan Jamison ran for two scores to lead Rutgers over Iowa State 27-13 in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 30, 2011. The Scarlet Knights (9-4) ran their bowl winning streak to five and improved to 2-0 this season at Yankee Stadium, where they beat Army last month. Rutgers, which played in one bowl game before 2005, is 5-1 in the postseason since that season. The Cyclones (6-7) finished the season on a three-game losing streak, their last win coming on Nov. 18 in Ames, Iowa, when they pulled off the biggest upset of the season against Oklahoma State. That night Jared Barnett threw for 376 yards. In this game, Steele Jantz relieved Barnett in the second quarter and helped pull the Cyclones within 20-13 in the fourth on Jeff Woody's 20-yard touchdown run with 10:00 left. After an exchange of punts left Rutgers deep in its own end, Dodd went deep to Coleman. The 6-foot-6 redshirt freshman went over 5-7 cornerback Jeremy Reeves, then outran the corner to the end zone to make it 27-13 with 5:47 left. It was Coleman's only catch, but it turned out to be the play of the game. Jamison, another redshirt freshman giving Rutgers fans hope for more bowls to come, finished with 134 yards on 27 carries.
