Northwestern hosts in-state rival Illinois in its season finale on Saturday and, with the Land of Lincoln Trophy and bowl-eligibility on the line, the Wildcats will host several key recruiting targets.
WildcatReport has learned that the following senior, junior and sophomore prospects will be among the visitors watching from the stands at Ryan Field.
Class of 2015
Three-star wide receiver Grant Perry of Birmingham (Mic.) Brother Rice said Northwestern is his favorite after he picked up an offer from the Wildcats last Friday. It the first Power Five conference offer for the 6-foot, 183-pounder.
Two-star corner back DJ Williams of Smyrna (Tenn.) has eight non-major offers and would love to get one from Northwestern. The Wildcats have been recruiting him for quite some time but he probably won't get an offer until he raises his ACT score to a 20. He scored 17 twice and will take it again on Dec. 6.
Class of 2016
Tackle Spencer Kanz of Luxemburg (Wis.) Luxemburg-Casco is a 6-foot-6, 275-pounder who has been drawing interest from several Big Ten programs. He has visited Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Eastern Illinois and North Dakota State this month.
Three-star linebacker David Reese of Farmington (Mich.) already has five MAC offers and is ranked as the No. 11 inside linebacker in the country. The 6-foot-1, 226-pounder is getting a lot of Big Ten interest after racking up 107 tackles and six sacks this season.
Class of 2017
Quarterback Hunter Johnson of Brownsburg (Ind.) already has five Power Five conference offers, from Cincinnati, Kentucky, Penn State, Purdue and Tennessee. The 6-foot-2, 187-pounder decided to visit Northwestern instead of Ole Miss this weekend.
