It looks like they're announcing the walkons today on the NIU Football Twitter feed. So far they've announced the kicker Kanon Woodill.

Looks like he’s going to play offensive line

Perfect size for a big TE. Needs to put on quite a bit of weight for O line.

Looks like Tackle is the plan. Lots of protein shakes in his future.

Levon Myers had this kind of body type in high school. He was tall and relatively thin, but with a frame to build out. I think this will be a great move for him to redshirt, bulk up and he will be an athletic tackle.

Doug Free is another TE in high school turned stud left tackle and NFL player

Similar. But Levon had like 20lbs on him and was 2 inches shorter. This guy is real thin. 3 years in the weight program and he should be where he needs to be though.

Carr has huge frame, easily handle 315+ . Has to have the feet to play though. Right side now and at 300plus it will take all day to get around. Feet and athletic movement must haves.

For his sake he doesn’t want to become Liam Soraghan 2.0. I was a bit shocked when I checked, but Liam hasnt recorded a single stat in his 3 active seasons.

I mean...he blocks. He probably wishes he had more stats too.

He’s a hard guy to judge because he was used almost exclusively as a blocker. It would be nice to have a dual threat out there...but oh well.

Anyone know the deal with Tajheem Lawson? Looked like he was back with us but didn't see him sign.

There are several guys who seem to be coming who were not announced. Among walkons I'm not sure what causes one guy to be announced and another not, but here is a list of unnanounced guys who seem to be coming (let me know if there are more):

RB Tajheem Lawson
RB Tay Solomon (Not sure about this one. At one point there was stuff on Twitter about his commitment which I can't find any more.)
RB Mason Blakemore
WR Jaylen Lipscomb
WR Trey Kelley
WR Muhammad Jammeh
WR Jalen Butler (His commitment stuff on Twitter is from last summer so who knows.)
CB Nasir Lacey

Walk Ons are not required to sign a letter of intent, so many of them choose not to so that if a better offer comes along they can take it. Coaches/schools can not talk about a player until they have either signed a NLI or enrolled. So there will be guys that get announced when they enroll in the fall.

I do know that Butler is not coming, I saw that he is going to a JUCO/CC which usually means grades, so maybe he pulls a Tyrice Richie and shows up in a couple years.

This is the first thing I thought of also. Would be some great footsteps to follow.

A signing of sorts - Jordan Steckler signed with the Texans. Not sure he makes the opening day roster much less the starting line up, but how cool would it be to have two Huskies together on a NFL line!
