Former LSU backup Hayden Rettig named Rutgers starting QB, NJ.com reports

Carroo (6-foot-1, 205 lbs.), who finished with a team-high 55 receptions for 1,068 yards (second in the Big Ten) and 10 touchdowns last season, is projected to be selected somewhere between the second or third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

“I’ve apologized to them”, Laviano said.

Laviano and Rettig have been locked in a two-man quarterback battle this summer.

Peele’s suspension is his latest issue after he missed all of last season due to injury and team-issued suspensions. Rettig sat out past year following his transfer, while Laviano backed up Gary Nova.

Hayden Rettig was named the Knights’ starting quarterback Tuesday, though that news was accompanied by the announcement of suspensions for five players, including Chris Laviano, Rettig’s competitor for that QB job.

Laviano said he learned “just to follow rules and not make immature, childish decisions”. With the players off Sunday before returning Monday, Flood could have a starter in place for the final week of camp. “I just feel like I know what I’m doing now”. Hayden is going to start the game. “It’s not going to make a difference whether (Carroo) was playing in the first half or not”.

Redshirt-freshman Giovanni Rescigno’s reps have increased now that he will backup Rettig for at least the first half of the opener, but Flood said that Laviano would continue to see plenty of reps with the first team. We’ve got a very specific situation that happened.

Flood and Carroo said they think the players on the team are mostly responsible. “I don’t think we want to live in a world of hypotheticals”. Flood told reporters that he wouldn’t commit to Rettig beyond the season’s first two quarters. He gained ground on Laviano with his velocity and accuracy in scrimmages.

With Leonte Carroo headlining the five members of the Rutgers football team suspended for breaking curfew, the senior wide receiver won’t be out on the field for at least the first half of the September 5 opener against Norfolk State. “I do still believe we’ll play more than five offensive linemen in the games, but the starters have to get starters reps”.
