Rutgers University announced that senior lineman Kwabena Asamoah has been selected to the Pro Football Network First Team All‑America, while running back Antwan Raymond earned a spot on the Second Team, underscoring a standout season for the Scarlet Knights.
Honors and Anticipation
Asamoah anchored the offensive line at right guard for all 12 games in 2025, helping the Scarlet Knights average 389.1 yards of total offense in Big Ten competition — the highest mark since the program entered the league. His consistency has been credited with fueling a balanced attack that produced a 3,000‑yard passer, a 1,000‑yard rusher and a 1,000‑yard receiver for the second time in school history.
Raymond’s breakout campaign included 244 carries for 1,241 yards and 15 touchdowns, placing him third in the Big Ten and 14th nationally in rushing. The performance featured a school‑record‑tying 240‑yard effort against Maryland and four 100‑yard games. In addition to being named a Doak Walker National Running Back Award semifinalist, Raymond captured the Cornish Trophy as the top Canadian player in college football and collected academic accolades that placed him on the All‑Big Ten and Academic All‑District teams.
The Scarlet Knights open the 2026 season on Thursday, September 3, hosting UMass at SHI Stadium. Season and single‑game tickets are available through Ticket Central, with holders receiving exclusive perks such as reserved parking and flexible payment plans.
