Saturday, Rutgers added depth to the defensive backs corps when Juwuan Briscoe announced he'd be transferring to Rutgers via Twitter, after originally revealing his intentions to leave the Bulldogs in December.

A 6-foot, 190-pound sophomore, Briscoe visited Rutgers Saturday coming off a season with mixed results as he started four games, accumulating 16 tackles, two interceptions, two pass deflections and a forced fumble, according to ESPN.com.

After starting two games as a true freshamn in 2015 and his first four games as a sophomore, Briscoe was replaced by Deandre Baker against Tennessee who never looked back.

Briscoe went on to participate in nine games last season, before electing not to participate in Georgia's Liberty Bowl game against TCU.

He has three years to play two after spending the last two at Georgia, which he picked over 11 other offers, including Rutgers, Ohio State, Clemson, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Penn State, to name a few.

Briscoe graduated out of Thomas Stone (Waldorf, Md.) in 2015 as a three-star running back/defensive back recruit.

Ohio State, where Rutgers head coach Chris Ash was co-defensive coordinator and coached safeties at the time, finished second among his list of favorite schools.

Briscoe has experience playing multiple positions and can help Rutgers in more than one area of need.

However, he won't be available until 2018 as he's force to sit out the upcoming season due to NCAA transfer rules.
