PISCATAWAY, N.J. ā OL Terrence Salami represents Rutgers football on the list of Burlsworth Trophy nominees announced this week. The Trophy is given to the most outstanding football player who began his career as a walk-on and has distinguished themselves through their performance, determination and perseverance.
