Dylan Lonergan named Rutgers starting quarterback over AJ Surace

Rutgers has named former Boston College quarterback Dylan Lonergan as its starting quarterback, replacing AJ Surace. Head coach Greg Schiano's approach has been characterized as a 'developmental program', yet recent trends show a reliance on transfer quarterbacks. Since Schiano's return in 2020, homegrown quarterbacks have struggled in competitions, raising questions about the program's ability to develop local talent. The decision to start Lonergan, who has significant playing experience, could ease his transition into the starting role amidst a backdrop of quarterback competition struggles within the program.
