Rutgers Freshman OT Chris Vigna: Towering 6-5 Enrollee Makes Early Scarlet Knights Debut
Chris Vigna, a 6-5, 280-pound freshman offensive tackle from Bergen Catholic (NJ), flashed early promise in 2025 by playing in one game and debuting against Norfolk State on 9/13—his first college action after committing to Rutgers on 6/3/24 as a three-star IOL recruit (Rivals Natl. 1157, NJ #31). A high school standout who helped secure an 11-1 record and NJ Non-Public A title in 2023 with versatile O-line play, Vigna's size, NJ roots, and coaching ties (Vito Campanile) make him a developmental gem with high upside for Rutgers' line rebuild; perfect fit for teams needing raw athleticism and local grit.
