We don't know much about what's happening on the field during Northwestern's spring practice this year, but we do know that the Wildcats have gotten a lot of their top-ranked Class of 2016 targets on campus for overnight visits.
For the third consecutive weekend, the Wildcats will welcome an impressive list of prospects to spend the night on campus and watch the team practice on Saturday morning. The Wildcats have done an excellent job with quarterbacks, especially, as they will welcome their third of their three offerees at the position this weekend.
WildcatReport has learned that these are the biggest names that will be in Evanston this weekend:
- Four-star, Rivals250 defensive end Khalid Kareem of Farmington Hills (Mich.) Harrison is one of the top defensive players in the Midwest. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder is ranked as the No. 13 DE in the nation and his offer list looks like the AP Top 25, with Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Ohio State and Oregon on the list. Landing Kareem may be a longshot, but getting him on campus for a visit is a victory in and of itself.
- Four-star, Rivals250 athlete T.J. Green. Taylor has already called Northwestern one of his early favorites, along with Mizzou, in no small part because Green will be in Evanston. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound speedster holds seven offers thus far.
- Three-star quarterback Anthony Brown. The 6-foot-1, 203-pound Wallace is the 24th-ranked pro-style quarterback in the land, but he can run well enough to operate the Wildcats' spread. Wallace has seven offers, and Northwestern joins Vanderbilt and Wake Forest as the Power Five schools on his list.
- Three-star defensive tackle Jake Saunders of Loveland (Ohio) says that Illinois, Ohio State and Northwestern are the three schools recruiting him the hardest at this point in the recruiting cycle, though the Buckeyes have yet to offer. The 6-foot-3, 275-pounder already has 10 offers, including Illinois, NU and Wisconsin from the Big Ten.
In addition to those four prospects with offers, Northwestern will also host unranked quarterback Thomas MacVittie of Ohio powerhouse Cincinnati Moeller. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder does not have a Wildcat offer and may be on the second tier of quarterback targets. He currently holds offers from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Miami (Ohio).
