Najee Story, a four-star defensive end from Solon, Ohio, committed to Northwestern via Twitter this morning.
Story, who announced Northwestern as one of his top five schools just two weeks ago, picked Northwestern over Big Ten blue bloods such as Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan. Alabama, Notre Dame, and West Virginia also handed offers to Story.
According to Rivals, Story is the 195th ranked player in his recruiting class and eighth in the state of Ohio. Just eight months ago, in September, Story was ranked as a top 75 recruit nationally. It is unclear why his ranking fell.
