OāNeill and Miller were seen as two of the few bright spots on an otherwise horrific Rutgers defense last season. OāNeill, who transferred to Rutgers from James Madison, recorded 37 total tackles, 2.5 sacks and 1 pass defended last season, while Miller, who transferred to Rutgers from Penn State, recorded 47 tackles, 6 pass breakups, 1 sack, and 1 interception. Miller came to a deal with the Carolina Panthers, while OāNeill did the same with the Detroit Lions.
Fletcher originally committed to Rutgers as a defensive end out of Delran High School in NJ. After seeing limited minutes as a defensive end during his first two seasons, Fletcher flipped to the other side of the ball to become a tight end in 2024. Despite dealing with injuries, Fletcher started 6 games that year and recorded 20 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns. He posted similar numbers in his senior year, recording 26 catches for 236 yards. He signed his UDFA deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
