Navy SEAL to Northern Illinois walk-on
Article in The Athletic today about Greg DeLuca. Has to be a tough, no-nonsense type of guy to make it through Buds. The attrition rate for Buds training is very high.

Hope he gets some playing time tonight, a tribute for Veteran's Day.

Agreed. You know one thing for sure - his attitude and desire have to be way up there!

I believe his # changed from 42 to 4, hope that is correct! Go Huskies!

Cool story. But his wife seems like a champ for letting him do all that.

Did Greg ever play last year? Did he decide to take his free extra year due to COVID, move on all together, or transfer? I don't see him on the 2021 roster so I'm guessing the later.

Even if he doesn't play too much, I hope and suspect he will show leadership in perseverance, discipline and mental toughness to the team. Go Huskies!
