versatile Rutgers walk-on who earned trust as a scout-team QB before settling in at DB
Verbitski stands out more for versatility and team value than box-score production: Rutgers used the walk-on Burlington, N.J. native as a scout-team quarterback because coaches trusted him to give the defense an accurate look, and the program lists him as a defensive back after his Burlington Township HS career included 616 passing yards, six TDs, 809 rushing yards and eight TDs as a senior.[1][3][6][8] That combination suggests a smart, competitive, coachable player with enough athletic range to help in multiple roles, which makes him the kind of depth piece and developmental fit teams want when they need reliable, hard-nosed utility more than headlines.[1][8]
