PHOENIX, Arizona — Rutgers vaunted rushing attack just got a little easier to manage.

Star senior running back Kyle Monangai will not be playing in Thursday’s Rate Bowl, Scarlet Knights’ head coach Greg Schiano announced during a Tuesday morning press conference.

Monangai, who made the trip down to Phoenix with his team, plans to help coach in the game while starting preparations for the 2025 NFL Draft.

“Kyle (Monangai) is not going to be playing,” Schiano said. “He decided not to, which I fully understand. Kyle has done so much for Rutgers. (I’m) excited for his future. He’s been awesome. He’s helped coach. He’s been at every meeting. If you didn’t know it, you would think he was playing.
