Northwestern had five walkons in for their official visits last weekend. Three of them have already committed to the Wildcats, while two others are still mulling their options.
Here's a look at all five of them:
The Commits
K Mason Weissenhofer of Montini (Ill.) Catholic committed in November, choosing the Wildcats over interest from several schools, primarily Cal, Penn State and Purdue. Weissenhofer hit 11 of 15 field-goal attempts in 2014, with a long of 42. He also drilled 40 of 41 extra points, averaged 54.4 yards on kickoffs with 34 touchbacks on 78 kicks, and averaged 34.4 yards on punts. He helped propel the Broncos to the Class 5A state title game, where they lost to Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin.

WR Chris Cliff of Commerce (Mich.) Walled Lake Northern committed to Northwestern as a walkon on Dec. 30 over offers from Air Force, Harvard and Yale, and heavy interest from Brown and Cornell. Statistics for his senior year are unavailable, but in 2013 the 6-foot-3 ,198-pounder totaled 1,046 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns, catching 26 passes for 569 yards and returning eight kickoffs for 323 yards, including a 100-yarder for a touchdown.

The Prospects
QB TJ Green of Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst is the son of former NFL quarterback Trent Green and has yet to commit. He attracted offers from North Dakota State and Penn and took an official visit to Stanford the week before his official at NU. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder also has a preferred walkon offer from Wake Forest and is receiving interest from Nebraska and NC State. He led the Hawklets to a 12-2 record and the Class 6 state title game, where they lost to Christian Brothers.

Athlete Henry Houden of Madison (Wis.) Memorial has yet to commit. The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder played safety, wide receiver and quarterback in high school but most likely projects as an outside linebacker, given his frame.
