NU football has 7 players currently committed for the 2024, which is close to half of a typical recruiting class. Here's a list of their other Power 5 offers according to 247.
- DL Dillan Johnson: California, Iowa State, Kansas State, Missouri, Washington State, Wisconsin
- OL Idrys Cotton: Duke, Colorado, Indiana, Louisville, Vanderbilt
- OT Payton Stewart: Arizona State, Duke, Oregon State, Washington State
- OL Gabe VanSickle: Indiana
- TE Patrick Schaller: Boston College
- DL Callen Campbell: none
- OL Julius Tate: none
That's... not exactly an inspiring list. More than half had 0 or 1 other power 5 offer. None had an offer from a blue blood program, with the closest being one Wisconsin offer. Otherwise it's mostly low-level Power 5 programs and a whole lot of lower-level conferences that they're winning recruiting battles against.
Granted, there is still about half of the class to fill out, including all of the skill position and back 7 players. But right now it looks like the last few seasons are having a pronounced impact on their recruiting, and that doesn't bode well for the future.
Update 06/08: NU has landed 2 CB commits in the last 2 days.
- Jamir Benjamin: 16 other power 5 offers, including Penn State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee, etc. Quality recruit based on the offer list, easily the best of their class so far.
- Terrion Hicks: no other Power 5 offers.
Update 06/16: NU lands a 10th commit, DL Troy Regovich. He had 1 other power 5 offer, from Kentucky. So that's now 6 of 10 recruits with 0 or 1 other power 5 offer.
