What did Taj Harris think of Rutgers football when he played them?

Taj Harris had first-hand experience with Rutgers football before transferring into the program this offseason.

Harris had 16 catches for 161 yards, playing in just three games before he left Syracuse and entered the transfer portal. But in his second-to-last game with the Orange, Harris put together a standout performance in what was a 17-7 loss to Rutgers.

With eight catches for 122 receiving yards, it is certainly safe to say that Rutgers must have taken notice of the performance. Asked by the Boardwalk Sports Talk podcast if he was impressed with Rutgers, Harris didn’t even let the host finish the question.

“Dogs. Dogs. Rutgers was filled with dogs. From the first kickoff to the last buzzer. They just attacking, attacking, attacking,” Harris said on the podcast.

“That’s one thing I really did notice about playing – everyone swarming to the ball. I literally never fumbled in college football. My first fumble in collegiate was against Rutgers when they got that strip. That just showed me how tough and how much they swarm the ball and get to the ball and play with 110 percent intensity from snap-to-snap to the end of the game.”

The full podcast drops on April 11.

Harris is part of a rebuilt offense that features four transfers on the offensive line plus fellow transfer portal wide receiver Sean Ryan from West Virginia.

In 2020, his last full season of college football, Harris had 58 catches for 733 receiving yards with five touchdowns.
