There is no substitute for experience. Rutgers returns plenty in the secondary, specifically at the cornerback position. Max Melton has NFL potential while Robert Longerbeam took a huge step forward in 2022. Kessawn Abraham is also returning for a sixth year of eligibility. There is no immediate opening for Mascoe but as a freshman, it is beneficial to be behind an experienced group. Mascoe will have the chance to hone his skills behind a talented group of leaders.

Mascoe was a two-way player in high school who also ran track. He brings great speed and instincts in the secondary. At his size, he is a talented taller and is not afraid of contact. There are many possibilities for Mascoe over the course of his career at Rutgers.
