Football: Meet the Wildcats' 2013 recruiting class

Joseph Diebold and John Paschall
February 6, 2013

Northwestern added 21 players Wednesday on National Signing Day.

"We as a staff are confident we've signed a group of young men who are tremendous fits for our program athletically, academically and socially," head coach Pat Fitzgerald said. "These 21 individuals are joining a program with a lot of momentum and I look forward to the contributions they'll make toward helping us achieve our goals in years to come."

The 19 scholarship players and two walk-ons will replace the winningest class in school history and attempt to carry forward the momentum from the school's first bowl win in 64 years.

The Daily's John Paschall watched the tape on the newest Wildcats and broke down their strengths and weaknesses.

    Guys, this graphic/format kinda sucks. I don't know who I'm clicking on when I hover over a name and have to keep going back and forth on pages to read anything.

    Not to mention it's not very graphically pleasing...

    Does John Paschall know ANYTHING about football? His so called break downs of strengths and weaknesses are basically dead wrong on half these players. A total miss on some.

    Does he have any qualifications to be evaluating football players or is he just guessing?

    NU fans deserve better analysis.
