Dean Lowry came to Northwestern as an unheralded recruit from Rockford, Illinois. He left as one of the most consistent four-year players of the Pat Fitzgerald era. After playing in all 13 games as a true freshman, Lowry added 15 pounds of muscle along with a wealth of knowledge and skills every offseason, and became one of the Wildcats' most important players as a junior and senior.
Lowry was invited to both the East-West Shrine Game and the NFL Scouting Combine. He impressed at both and will likely hear his name called in downtown Chicago this weekend.
