Rutgers football’s offense on Sunday landed a new weapon.
Dymere Miller, a transfer wide receiver from Monmouth, announced on social media that he was committing to Greg Schiano and the Scarlet Knights.

Miller has one year of eligibility remaining.
Rutgers extended an offer to Miller earlier this month. Miller also received offers from Memphis, North Texas, UAB, Pittsburgh, UConn and Texas Tech, among others.
But the Scarlet Knights ultimately won out.
For Rutgers, the offense gets a talented wide receiver who has elite speed and can be a reliable target for quarterback Gavin Wimsatt in the passing game.
The Scarlet Knights needed a replacement for JaQuae Jackson, who was second on the team with 361 receiving yards but is out of eligibility after transferring prior to this season from California University of Pennsylvania.
