South Brunswick High School and Rutgers alum Mohamed Sanu is a red hot rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals.
South Brunswick's Mohamed Sanu began his NFL career without recording a single reception until the seventh game of the year for the Cincinnati Bengals. But after notching the first touchdown reception of his career two weeks ago against the New York Giants, the floodgates opened and the Rutgers University alum followed that up with a touchdown catch last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. With a two-game scoring streak on the line as the Bengals hosted the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, Sanu not only continued his touchdown streak, but he also doubled up his efforts. Sanu found the end zone twice in a 34-10 Bengals win, as he finished with a career-high five receptions for 29 yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals have now won three straight…

After getting off to a slow start in his NFL career, South Brunswick High School and Rutgers University alum Mohamed Sanu has scored a touchdown in two straight games.
Like most rookie wide receivers in the NFL, South Brunswick's Mohamed Sanu took some time to adjust to the pro game. But in week 11 of the NFL season on Sunday, South Brunswick's favorite son found himself in the starting lineup of the Cincinnati Bengals and soon found the end zone for the second straight week. After an injury kept starting receiver Andrew Hawkins out of the lineup, Sanu started the first game of his pro career and made the most of it. Late in the fourth quarter with the Bengals ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs 21-6, Sanu beat star Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. "If life were represented with arrows on God's spreadsheet, Bengals rookie wide receiver …

South Brunswick High School and Rutgers University alum Mohamed Sanu victimized the New York Giants for his first career touchdown reception.
South Brunswick's Mohamed Sanu showed off his versatility earlier this season for the Cincinnati Bengals when he tossed a 73-yard touchdown pass out of the Wildcat formation. However, the wide receiver had yet to log his first receiving touchdown when the Bengals took the field against the New York Giants on Sunday. But Sanu would show off the talents that made him a record setting receiver at Rutgers and a third round pick in April's NFL Draft by victimizing the reeling Giants for his first receiving touchdown as a pro. After the Bengals took a 24-6 lead in the third quarter, Eli Manning was picked off by Nate Clements, who returned the ball 21 yards to the Giants 16-yard line. After two running plays where BenJarvus Green-Ellis picked …

Former South Brunswick High School star and current wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals Mohamed Sanu will have his number 2 jersey retired at halftime of the Vikings game against Sayreville.
South Brunswick High School has never seen a star like Mohamed Sanu walk its hallways, and on Oct. 26, Sanu's jersey number will never be worn again on the football field. SBHS will honor the accomplishments of Sanu by retiring his jersey number 2 on Oct. 26 at halftime of the game against Sayreville. Sanu was born in New Brunswick on August 22, 1989.
