Greg Schiano put his hard hat on as soon as he returned to Rutgers and went right to work mining the transfer market. He returned to the earth’s surface with another gem.
Former Minnesota defensive lineman Mayan Ahanotu became the latest to commit to Rutgers on Thursday, giving Rutgers eight transfers since Schiano’s hiring.
The former 3-star recruit redshirted in 2018, then appeared in three games in 2019. He was named Minnesota’s scout team defensive player of the year in 2018 and made the Academic All-Big Ten team in 2019.

Rutgers defensive coordinator Robb Smith signed Ahantou at Minnesota, and Knights defensive line coach Jim Panagos was the Gophers’ D-line coach at that time.
