Great to hear it, Vince. I have heard rumors that he is indeed The son of Thor... we will need that kind of magic to win another bowl in the next 63 years.

Kinda cool that we got a second straight 4-star recruit from Illinois. He's listed as a pro-style QB, which would be a big departure for NU. However, I'm guessing with a 4.6 40-yard, there is a chance that WR is an option. The kid's film reminds me a ton of Kafka... but he's a lot further along in his mechanics than Kafka was in highschool. From Rivals: Rivals250 quarterback Clayton Thorson has committed to Northwestern to become the second member of the Wildcats' Class of 2014. The four-star signal caller from Wheaton (Ill.) North chose Northwestern over offers from more than a dozen other schools, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Penn State, Mississippi and NC State. The 6-foot-4, 197-pounder is ranked as the No. 234 recruit in the country. He boasts a 4.6 40-yard dash and a 3.5 GPA, making him an ideal fit for the Wildcat program. |

That's pretty typical for a HS QB. They'll bulk him up when he gets to school. He likely won't see the field for some time. We have 2 more years of Trevor Siemian and Zach Oliver, 1 more year of Kain Colter, 4-5 years of Matt Alviti. Unless there are injuries, Clayton will have plenty of time to add the weight. |

Thorson is a monster. He's a good get. Saw him play against Glenbard North this year as part of a 2 QB system and if Wheaton North plays him entirely at QB, they likely beat the Panthers. Iowa was big on this guy - he's a good signing. |

Justin Jackson (RB, Glenbard North) is going to be a special one too. Word is NU is the current leader with Iowa just behind them. |
