We’ve gone through Northwestern’s most important players, positional previews, and opponent breakdowns. Now, as the season creeps closer, we’re counting down the roster, 99 to 1. We’ll provide biographical information, stats, and an outlook for each player’s role headed into 2019.
We move to the 40s, where we find a variety of linebackers, defensive linemen and, yes, two long snappers.
49: Adetowima Adebawore
DL | 6-foot-2, 260 lbs. | First-year | Kansas City, Missouri
Likely role in 2019: Redshirt
There are so many players vying for time along the defensive front, and he doesn’t come in with a hyped-up pedigree, so it is likely Adebawore redshirts this year.
