Over time certain college football programs develop reputations for churning out NFL-worthy stars at certain positions. For tight ends, you look to Iowa; for wide receivers, it’s Ohio State; and for defensive backs, there’s LSU.<\/p>\n

As for Northwestern, the first thing that comes to mind is academics. However, the Big Ten school is actually becoming a hub for quality defensive prospects, especially on the back end.<\/p>\n

This week the Wildcats added two more prospective contributors to their secondary, getting commitments from a pair of three-star cornerbacks in the class of 2024.<\/p>\n
