Podcast: Rutgers Football Names Dylan Lonergan as QB1
- Rutgers' move to Dylan Lonergan at QB1 is partly a bet on his surroundings, especially the potential for a strong pass-blocking offensive line and skill support from KJ Duff and Antwan Raymond.
- Lonergan reunites with an offensive coordinator he has worked with before, giving the staff a familiar foundation for his transition.
- The analyst carries more uncertainty than with the previous quarterback because Lonergan lacks the same Big Ten experience and consistent game tape; the upside case depends on the staff developing the flashes seen in his earlier film.

Podcast: Impact Players for 2026/Rutgers Scarlet Knights LIVE 98
- Rutgers has an availability/depth question at wide receiver because one player was WR4 before getting hurt in last year's spring game and did not get much of a chance to show himself.
- The speaker is less worried about youth in the wide receiver room than about not knowing which similarly talented players will actually separate and start.
- Fall-camp pressure reps were framed as important for sorting close competitions, including quarterback and offensive-line depth.
- The defensive line was projected to be much improved, but the larger evaluation theme is seeing how players react under pressure.

Podcast: Rutgers Football Summer Preview Series: Maryland Terrapins Edition
- Rutgers' Maryland matchup features a more settled opponent quarterback outlook, with Malik Washington entering Year 2 and providing stability Maryland has lacked at the position.
- Maryland lost Dylan Vontas on the defensive line and carries questions at corner, although the pass rush is still expected to be a season-long strength.
- The Terrapins also have uncertainty in the running-back room and at right tackle, where a potential starter has limited college experience and an unresolved availability question.

Podcast: Greg Schiano Discusses the QB Competition/Rutgers Scarlet Knights LIVE 97
- Rutgers' quarterback competition was still unresolved as of June 8, with the staff apparently comfortable letting both contenders push into summer and training camp.
- The host warns Rutgers needs to name a QB1 clearly enough that the starter is not looking over his shoulder after every mistake, especially because the two options have different strengths.
- Dylan is described as the better deep-ball option, while both quarterbacks are said to have played well enough to keep the race alive.
- Maryland is flagged as a potentially tricky home game because that defense should be focused on stopping the run after being gashed by Antoine Raymond.

Updates on Spring Practice and the QB Battle/Rutgers Scarlet Knights LIVE 87
- Top Betting/Intel Takeaways
- Rutgers' QB battle is unsettled and likely extends into fall camp; the hosts do not hear clear separation between A.J. Surace and Boston College transfer Dylan Lonergan.
- Greg Schiano mentioning Sean Ashenfelder was treated as a sign that the race may be more open than expected, or at minimum that the staff is not fully satisfied yet.
- The hosts lean toward Lonergan having a slight edge because he has prior starting experience, but they repeatedly warn that no QB looks locked in.
- The likely starter may have a short leash; one host specifically said a three-interception type game could force a change.
