Jamar Taylor, a 6‑foot‑4, 190‑pound wide receiver from Salesianum High School in Delaware, has officially pledged to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for the 2027 recruiting class, a decision that caps a whirlwind recruitment journey.
A Dual‑Sport Phenomenon
Taylor’s junior campaign was nothing short of spectacular: he hauled in 48 passes for 703 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning first‑team all‑conference honors and helping his team advance to the Delaware Class 3A championship game.
Beyond the gridiron, the multi‑sport standout also dominates the track, where his 6‑foot‑7 high jump set a school record and captured the state title, showcasing the blend of size, speed, and athleticism that attracted a suite of Power Five suitors.
The recruit’s list of offers read like a who’s‑who of college football, including Boston College, Duke, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, NC State, Syracuse and Wake Forest, before he narrowed his focus to Rutgers.
Ranked among the top 80 wide receivers in the 2027 class by On3 and Rivals, Taylor will take an official visit to Rutgers on May 29, a trip that could further solidify the connection between player and program.
Coaches at Rutgers view his size and track background as a rare combination that could translate into a versatile weapon in the passing game, potentially reshaping the Scarlet Knights’ offensive outlook for the next few years.
