Jordan Wilimovsky to swim in two Olympic events

Not one, not two, not... Ok, just two. Late Sunday, Northwestern’s very own Jordan Wilimovsky qualified for his second Rio event by finishing second in the 1500 at U.S. Olympic Trials. He’s also swimming the 10K, which he qualified for last summer. Last year, we named him our Student-Athlete of the Year.

Position Previews

We wrapped up our position previews this week.

• The cornerbacks are talented yet young.
• The safeties should be solid once again.
• The special teams units bring back almost everyone.

If you missed any, they’re all available right here.

We also discussed the most worrisome unit on the team as well as the strongest unit on the team. You can vote on both.

New Contributors

We took a look at both true freshmen and redshirt freshmen who could contribute this year. We also examined the top position battles of the offseason.
