Rutgers continues to offensive line talent to its 2027 recruitment class as they have now landed 3-star Florida offensive lineman Zane Keric to add to their offensive line class which already includes interior offensive linemen James Cocozzo, Charles Butler, Jackson Albright, Alijah Jones, and offensive tackle Aaron Southard. Keric, who stands at 6-foot-7, 295-pounds, is projected to play offensive tackle at the next level.

Keric plays his high school ball for St. John Neumann High School down in Naples, Florida. He first visited campus back in April for a spring practice visit and earned his offer about half a month later in mid May.

When asked about his commitment by The Knight Report, Keric talked about how current Rutgers offensive line coach Jim Turner left a strong impression on him and that he thinks he can thrive and make it to the next level in his system.

Keric chose to commit to the Scarlet Knight over other offers such as Illinois, PITT, and UCF. He is the third commit so far to come out of the June 6th official visit weekend. He was scheduled to take a visit to UCF on Tuesday, but that visit has already been canceled.

It was also noted by 247sports that Keric carries a strong 4.44 GPA, which aligns well with the program’s efforts in academia.
