Rutgers University Athletics

Why Rutgers? "I chose Rutgers because they have great academics. Rutgers is very close to my family and friends, so they could come watch me play. The program they are building here is amazing. Coach Owens, Coach Monaghan and the rest of staff are great at developing players and young men."
 
Head Coach Steve Owens: "JT is a strong, polished left-handed pitcher with very good stuff. With continued development, he will have an opportunity to compete for a starting pitcher role early in his career."
