Rutgers University has received a verbal commitment from Kaylib Singleton, a three-star defensive back from Fleming Island High School in Florida. Despite being courted by multiple Power Five programs, Singleton ultimately decided to give his pledge to the Big Ten school.
Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 173 pounds, Singleton is ranked as the No. 43 cornerback prospect in the nation and the No. 61 player in Florida for this recruiting cycle by 247Sports. Throughout the recruiting process, he received numerous offers from Power Five schools including Boston College, Florida, LSU, Michigan, and Texas A&M, among others.
Initially scheduled to visit Michigan, Singleton ultimately chose Rutgers after taking official visits to both Florida and Syracuse. He canceled his scheduled visit to Michigan following his commitment to the Scarlet Knights.
Last season as a junior, Singleton recorded 16 total tackles with an interception and two passes defended in nine games played. His decision to commit to Rutgers was announced on Sunday morning, solidifying his future with the program and adding him to a growing list of elite recruits at the university.
