Northwestern announced its four captains for the 2018 season Thursday night on Twitter: Clayton Thorson, Tommy Doles, Montre Hartage and sophomore Paddy Fisher.
Normally announced at Meet the Team night (which is this Friday), Fitzgerald tweeted the team’s captains — as voted on by their teammates — Monday night.
Thorson, now a two-time captain, enters his fourth season as the winningest quarterback in Northwestern history. He’s tied for the program lead in touchdowns thrown, and enters the season coming off of a torn ACL in the Music City bowl this past December.
