Tyreek Jemison, a promising 3-star prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, has been drawing attention not only for his athletic prowess on the field but also for his budding connection with the Rutgers football program. The dynamic cornerback from the South has been steadily rising on recruiting boards, and Rutgers has emerged as a strong contender for his commitment.
In a recent interview, Jemison expressed high praise for the Scarlet Knights’ coaching staff, especially cornerbacks coach Mark Orphey. “Coach Orphey is really down to earth,” Jemison said. “We’ve had some great talks, and he’s made it clear how I could fit into their defense.”
Jemison has also highlighted the welcoming atmosphere around the program, noting the consistent communication and genuine interest shown by the staff. “They’re not just recruiting me as a player,” he explained. “They’re getting to know me as a person, and that stands out.”
With several visits already under his belt and more planned for the summer, Jemison has made it clear that Rutgers is one of the schools he’s seriously considering. As Greg Schiano continues to build a strong 2025 class, Jemison’s comments signal that the Scarlet Knights are making major inroads with top-tier talent.
As the recruitment process heats up, Rutgers fans will be keeping a close eye on Jemison’s next moves—and hoping the strong relationship he’s building in Piscataway leads to a future commitment.
