Getting to play and go to school close to home at NIU was really important to me. I'm really close with my family. It will allow my Mom and my Dad to come and see me play in college. NIU also recruited me really hard right out of the gates and NIU was my first offer. NIU really made me feel wanted and like I was needed there. NIU has also been doing some good things, they win a lot of games and I can also get a good education. It's just really an exciting feeling." - EDGYTIM HIGHLIGHTS: http://www.hudl.com/video/3/7741690/59e1ab81da5b58104ce6d008 3.

Interesting point on Trieb is that he said NIU recruited him as a TE even though he’s never played TE before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 2019 Official Verbal Thread - NIU32 - 04-29-2018 06:30 AM Yet another commit this weekend from Chicago.

Just like basketball, you have a lot of hungry kids who play football in the Chi. I’ve always felt our team should be comprised of the best of our state with a mixture of FL/TX/NeighborStates... there’s no reason the season after the Orange Bowl we didn’t have commits from Illinois State championship teams pouring in... I love the direction our recruitment has headed. Corey Davis should’ve been a Huskie, smh.
