Veteran Rutgers DB Lewis Toler brought instant experience and ball skills to the Scarlet Knights
In the 2013 season, Lewis Toler arrived at Rutgers as an immediately eligible graduate-transfer cornerback with major experience, having started 36 of his previous 37 games at Western Michigan and then opening his Rutgers stint with five tackles plus a forced fumble and recovery against Fresno State. Rutgers’ own preview framed him as the stabilizer for a rebuilt secondary, and that’s the big selling point: seasoned, physical, and already trusted in pressure snaps. If you need a plug-and-play defensive back who can steady the back end and make hustle plays, Toler fits the bill.
