Leading the Scarlet Knights is Head Coach Greg Schiano, who continues to shape a resilient squad focused on both athletic excellence and academic achievement. The 2025 roster features standout players across all positions, such as offensive lineman Zach Aamland (6’7″, 300 lbs, Jr., South Brunswick, NJ), defensive lineman Djibril Abdou Rahman (6’4″, 257 lbs, Jr., Montréal, QC), and quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis (6’3″, 212 lbs, Sr., Antioch, IL), whose performances will be critical in the Scarlet Knights’ pursuit of success this season. Notably, the team maintains a diverse mix of local New Jersey talent and recruits from across the U.S. and internationally, including athletes from Canada, Australia, and the Bahamas.
The program’s commitment to developing players is evident not just on the field but in the classroom, with many athletes enrolled in rigorous academic tracks such as Labor and Employment Relations, Finance, and Supply Chain Management. This holistic approach is fostered by an extensive coaching and support staff, including Offensive Coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca and Co-Defensive Coordinators Robb Smith and Zach Sparber, all of whom bring a wealth of experience to the Scarlet Knights’ leadership team.
Looking ahead to the 2025 schedule, Rutgers fans can expect a competitive slate of games, with matchups that will test the depth and versatility of the roster. The Scarlet Knights’ ability to leverage their experienced line, dynamic running backs like Samuel Brown V and Ja’shon Benjamin, and a secondary anchored by veterans such as Cam Miller and Jett Elad will be crucial. The team’s performance will also be under the microscope from analysts and bettors, as the blend of seasoned upperclassmen and dynamic underclassmen could create opportunities for upsets in the Big Ten and potential bowl eligibility.
