While it was a quiet winter, Northwestern has turned its attention to the transfer portal this spring. NU did bring in wide receiver Camron Johnson during the first transfer window; however, after the conclusion of spring practice, the Wildcats dove into the portal to fill out their roster with positions of need. The ‘Cats added defensive linemen Richie Hagarty and Matthew Lawson — adding to a room depleted following the 2022 season.
Not finished, NU’s revolving door under center may continue, as the Wildcats added sixth-year quarterback Ben Bryant from Cincinnati. Bryant, who started nine games last season for UC, will enter the summer as the favorite to be the ‘Cats’’ starter in Week One.
