The special teams unit for Rutgers could use some work heading into next season. With that being said, there are some positives to hang their hats on. Jake Eldridge enters as the top-rated long snapper in the nation and will have a new punter to get the ball to. Adam Korsak ended his career by winning the Ray Guy award given to the top punter in the nation. Flynn Appleby got a chance to learn during his first year and could take over duties as a sophomore.
