Sorry my bad, we pressed post pretty simultaneously

I'm just very excited.

I'm a Nazareth grad and the Keelers are fellow Chicagoans who made the drive to the burbs for Nazareth. Well worth it!

Good to get someone in an area of need. Welcome, Matt

Hard not to be excited about this! Chicago kid with good size (6’6” 305#) and a fair amount of experience at the Power 5 level. Very sad that his brother who also played FBS football recently passed away of cardiac arrest - I assume they’ve done a comprehensive evaluation to check for genetic heart conditions? Hilinski can be of support for him; their brothers passed away under different circumstances obviously, but they can still empathize.

Hilinski can be of support for him;

Hilinski has played as long as Ben Johnson

Can he play?

Let's take Ben Johnson seriously.. Before his NU football career, he wrote The Fox and he now coaches the scrappy Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball team. He is a true scholar-athlete.

Yes. But I'm biased
