Northwestern will host some of its top 2025 targets on Saturday for an Elite Junior Day event in Evanston.
This is sort of a hybrid of a traditional Junior Day mass visit that other programs put on, and the smaller visit weekends that the program has favored in the past.
WildcatReport has learned that seven 2025 targets will be on campus, along with several 2024 preferred walkon prospects. Five of the 2025s have double-digit offers, and all of them have at least one Power Four offer. Northwestern has offered all but two of them -- but that could change this weekend.
Here is the list of visitors expected:
DE Austin Alexander
Northwestern offer: Jan. 27
Total offers: 24
Power Four: 16
RB Gabe Fields
Northwestern offer: No offer yet. One could be coming this weekend.
