Thomas Amankwaa, former Hillsborough star, is entering the transfer portal after spending the last three seasons at Rutgers. (@tommy_amankwaa on Twitter)
One of the most decorated players in Hillsborough football history – who came to Rutgers after playing his final high school game there in 2021, a win over Kingsway in the South Group 5 Regional Championship to finish 13-0 – has announced he’s leaving the Scarlet Knights.
Thomas Amankwaa will be entering the transfer portal next Monday, announcing the decision on Twitter Wednesday, just as National Letter of Intent Early Signing Day was getting underway.
I am thankful for the opportunity that Rutgers has given me to allow me to grow as player and person. I will forever cherish the relationships that I’ve made and the lessons that I have learned. After consideration I have decided enter the transfer portal on Dec. 9 as a WR. pic.twitter.com/FQxe0n6aD4

Amankwaa was on the most successful Hillsborough football team in program history, helping lead the Raiders as a senior to an undefeated campaign, setting a program and county record with their 13 wins.
The Central Jersey Sports Radio Two-Way Player of the Year in 2021, Amankwaa was sparsely used at Rutgers, but put up big numbers at Hillsborough. He finished with 2,127 career receiving yards, 93 catches and 24 touchdowns. His senior year, he also ran the ball, going for 861 yards and 13 TDs on 73 carries, after rushing just 14 times combined in his sophomore and junior seasons.
Amankwaa will have two years of eligibility remaining.
