Local Rutgers rookie with burst, balance, and sleeper-upside
In the 2025 season, Terrell Mitchell saw limited action for Rutgers, appearing in one game and rushing 3 times for 14 yards, so the sample is tiny—but the profile is intriguing. A 5-8, 200-pound back from Somerville, N.J., he arrived as a top-20 New Jersey signee and a three-star recruit, with a high school résumé built on production, contact balance, and versatility: 2,644 rushing yards, 35 rushing TDs, plus 49 total touchdowns and 22 catches as a senior. He looks like a compact, physical fit who can earn tougher yards and contribute in multiple ways if his role grows.
