Clark Harris Goes Viral
Sporting a mullet and goatee, images of long snapper Clark Harris with his helmet off on the sideline during Sunday’s game against Green Bay went viral. The longest-tenured Rutgers football player in the NFL is in his 14th professional season and 13th as Cincinnati’s primary long snapper.
Jason McCourty Heads to London
Jason McCourty and Miami face Jacksonville on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It marks the second consecutive weekend Rutgers will be represented across the pond in the NFL’s London series, as Duron Harmon helped Atlanta to a win over Tyler Kroft and the New York Jets last weekend.
Scarlet Knight Tackle Leaders
Sebastian Joseph-Day (Los Angeles Rams) continues to have a career season in his fourth year in the league. Joseph-Day leads all defensive tackles with 30 stops through the first five games of the season to go along with two sacks and six quarterback pressures. Logan Ryan (New York Giants) is second among defensive backs and 15th overall with 43 tackles.
Bye Week Break
Three Rutgers football players – Duron Harmon (Atlanta), Tyler Kroft (New York Jets) and Mohamed Sanu (San Francisco) – will be off this weekend during the bye week.
