The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Mugerwa is rated a three-star prospect and the No. 15 overall recruit in Pennsylvania for his class, per the 247Sports Composite. He’s also ranked as the No. 56 overall wide receiver recruit in the class.
James Franklin and Virginia Tech, as well as Florida State, were pushing hard to land Mugerwa, but he ultimately chose Rutgers as his destination.
Mugerwa was slated to take a visit to Virginia Tech, but that will no longer be happening.
He also held offers from Michigan State, Texas A&M, Maryland, Syracuse and others.
Rutgers now has 14 members of its 2027 recruiting class.
Mugerwa is the second wide receiver, joining Delaware prospect Jamar Taylor, who chose Rutgers despite a hard push from Georgia.
