Prediction: Athlete of the Year (Male): Kenny Golladay, Football
Golladay was one of the only bright spots of the season., Golladay led the team with 1,156 receiving yards and 8 receiving touchdowns in 12 games. He is the first player in school history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. On Friday, he was drafted 96th overall in the third round by the Detroit Lions. It’s no doubt he is one of the greatest athletes to come out of NIU and will respectfully win this award.
Prediction: Athlete of the Year (Female): Ally Lehman, Women’s Basketball
