Raedyn Bruens brings size, upside, and early-game experience to Rutgers’ defensive front
Raedyn Bruens is a 6-foot-5, 280-pound sophomore defensive lineman at Rutgers who already saw the field in 2025, making his collegiate debut against Oregon. In high school at A. Crawford Mosley, he flashed real disruption juice with 146 career tackles and 16 sacks, including 46 tackles, seven tackles for loss, six sacks, and a forced fumble as a senior. The appeal is easy to spot: long, physical, and versatile enough to work across the line, Bruens looks like a developmental DL with real frame and motor-driven upside for a program that values trench toughness.
