Rutgers University has announced the themes and promotions for its 2025 football season, aiming to create an exciting atmosphere at SHI Stadium. The season kicks off with "Youth Sports Day & Postgame Fireworks" on August 28 against Ohio. Other notable themes include "R Community featuring A Walk to Believe" on September 6 against Miami (Ohio), "Band Day" on September 13 against Norfolk State, and "The Blackout" on September 19 against Iowa.

ESPN's Adam Rittenberg ranked Rutgers at No. 43 among all Power Four programs, highlighting the offensive line as a strength due to returning starters like Gus Zilinskas, Bryan Felter, and Kwabena Asamoah. He also noted the potential of the defensive line and the improved recruiting classes.

Predictions for Rutgers' season vary among college football analysts. Some predict a 5-7 record, while others are less optimistic, forecasting 3-9. A key factor will be Rutgers' ability to win coin-flip games and navigate a challenging schedule that includes matchups against Oregon, Ohio State, and Penn State.
