Northwestern will have two 3-star cornerback signings beginning in 2024
Over time, certain college football programs develop a reputation for producing NFL-worthy stars in certain positions. When it comes to tight ends, look to Iowa; for wide receivers, it’s Ohio State; and for the defensive backs, there’s LSU.
When it comes to Northwestern, the first thing that comes to mind is the academics. In fact, however, the Big Ten school is becoming a hub for quality defensive players, particularly in the back end.
This week, the Wildcats added two more potential contributors to their secondary school and received signings from two Class of 2024 three-star cornerbacks.
