Squat: 295 lbs
2015 Stats: 59 rec. 1093 receiving yds, 16 receiving TDs, 1 KO return TD, 1 punt return TD
Scout, 247 ★★★
Father also played for NIU
Quote:Tucker filled us in on why he decided to give the NIU Huskies his early commitment.
"I really tried to step away from the fact that I live in DeKalb and look at things if I wanted to get away from home for college. In the end it's just too good of an opportunity for me to pass up at NIU. I love NIU football and even when I stepped by and looked at everything I still saw myself playing for NIU. "
Look for Tucker to now become another recruiter for the NIU Huskies.
"I definitely want to help us bring in some kids in this class. I've already have talked to some of the coaches about that and I'll be calling some of those kids soon to talk."

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 165 lbs
Scout ★★
Quote:"NIU just feels like the right place for me," according to Warren. "I just like everything they have to offer and I was ready so I committed."
Warren, who was beginning to add offers and gain real recruiting traction this spring explained why he decided to end his recruiting process and pledge to the NIU Huskies.
"I just like everything that NIU has to offer. They have a great football team and they win games. NIU is pretty close to home so my friends and family can come see me play in college. I also just like how close the players and the coaches are at NIU. Everyone is on the same page at NIU."
Warren who was offered as a cornerback/saftey by the Huskies is excited to play in the NIU defense.
"I like the NIU defense a lot. It's a good fit for me and they play real fast and aggressive style just like we do at Phillips."
Warren made a few other visits this spring but none of those schools compared to NIU.
"I visited some other schools but they didn't feel the same way as NIU did to me." - edgytim.com

Northern Illinois has gotten on the map thanks to superb dual-threat quarterback play from the likes of Chandler Harnish, Jordan Lynch, and Drew Hare who have each thrown for over 4,400 yards and rushed for 1,200 yards in their respective NIU careers.
“The quarterback has the option to run or pass a lot,” Hall said of the Northern Illinois offensive system. - The D Zone

Quote:“I knew this was a good team, I knew they wanted me and I knew it was a good school,” Webster said. “I wanted to be someone’s top pick rather than someone’s last choice. I felt like we had a good connection there. “It’s exciting when you can talk about opportunities of playing in bowl games and competing for conference championships,” Webster said. “They are one of the powerhouses in the conference. It was something I really wanted to be part of. It was getting pretty stressful,” he said, “but after talking with all the coaches there and who they are as people, I fit in there pretty well.” -QCTimes
