Tyler Kielmaier is one of the latest offers sent out by Rutgers, and the Ohio State tight end is already planning a visit to the Scarlet Knights this spring.
Kielmeyer, a 6-foot-7 tight end from Westerville South (Westerville, Ohio), is a three-star and No. 36 tight end in the nation according to 247Sports.He received an offer from Rutgers in late February.
His offer list includes Boston College, Illinois, Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Wisconsin and more.
His latest offer came from Rutgers and came during a video call with head coach Greg Schiano and staff members.
“It was great to get an offer from a great coach like Coach Schiano,” Kielmayer told Rutgers Wire on Monday.
“It’s great to get an offer from a school that needs me.”
He said the message from Rutgers was about how he could adapt to the Scarlet Knights' rebuilding efforts. Last year, Rutgers defeated Miami in the Pinstripe Bowl and finished the season with a 7-6 record.
“(They are) developmental programs that are on the rise,” Kielmeyer said.
“They think I have the right skills and can thrive in their offense.”
In addition to Rutgers University, Kielmeyer hopes to visit Cincinnati, Illinois, Louisville, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Wisconsin this spring.
