One other comment, my wife and I both attended NIU and have been living in the DC area for many years since graduating. We always love to come back to DeKalb to attend NIU games and are in awe of how nice the campus is, including all of the recent upgrades. Sometimes you have to be away from the Midwest to truly appreciate how special NIU really is. Go Huskies!

His run after the catch is pretty special. Good balance as well for Receiver. Will be a nice addition:

Would he be coming in as a Sophmore?
Scout has done a very recent and interesting re ranking of our commits. I will briefly review our new top 5 with 2 major surprise upgrades! Our new number 1 recruit according to Scout is Matt Lorbeck ILB 6'3" 220 lbs. from Wisc. Scout now rates him #3 ILB in Wisconsin, and #21 nationally. I saw a photo of him with coach Carey and they appear to be the same height. Carey goes around 6'5" in height. # 2 is Nixon DE 6'4" 280 lbs. also from Wisc. #3 is QB Hall from Mich. The second shocker comes in at our #4 recruit, Jordan Nettles is listed as the #2 RB in Illinois and # 56 nationally. Rounding out our top 5 is OL Issac Hawn. I know that this is Scout Inc. opinions, but this is a very current update to their rankings. Lorbeck appears to have experienced a growth spurt in weight also and may grow into a DE according to some folks. Nettles was also a shock as a under the radar RB. It will be interesting to see if 247 sports, rivals, or ESPN do any updates. Rivals used to be very good and ESPN was just OK, but Rivals has fallen behind 247 and Scout as far as current analysis, IMHO.

I'm really preying the keep Lorbek at linebacker although I'm not holding my breath. Unlike when Corcoran was recruited, Lorbek shows great flexibility, agility and open field speed. Think he makes a quicker impact at backer rather than spending two to three years trying to put weight on him.

You should become a coach, LOL. I love your insight.

Lorbeck was the defensive player of the year in Wisconsin this year. Great to see Scout have him up there. Severely underrated by 247 and a great pick up for us

Nettles reminds me of Spann, same type of moves. Wears the same number too. I think he projects as a better RB than Rowell, if we keep Rowell

Great info, thanks! This is a nice class, especially when you add Jordan Robinson to the mix. I wish a few more linebackers would make themselves known but there's still time. I suppose there's also a chance they could move Sutton Smith back to linebacker where he belongs if some of these D-ends pan out.
