That “Boom” you saw on Twitter (X) from Rutgers head coach Scott Goodale means only one thing. The Scarlet Knights received a verbal commitment Wednesday evening. It actually may be worth a couple of “booms.”
The #12 overall recruit in the Class of 2026, Brandt Harer (Montgomery, PA), committed to Goodale’s team. Harer’s brother, Conner, is a true freshman at Rutgers and might have the inside track to start right away at 157 lbs in 2024-25. Brandt is currently ranked #13 at 138 lbs by MatScouts.
The younger Harer is a two-time Pennsylvania AA state finalist - finishing as a runner-up as a freshman and winning a state championship as a sophomore. Through two years of high school competition, Harer is 99-2.
Outside of Pennsylvania, Harer has won the NHSCA grade-level tournament in each of his first two years of high school.
Harer is the first wrestler from the Class of 2026 to commit to Rutgers.
At the next level, Harer could project at 157 lbs like his older brother.
