Northwestern football announced its 2017 captains at Meet the Team Night Friday, when Pat Fitzgerald named Godwin Igwebuike, Justin Jackson, Tyler Lancaster and Clayton Thorson as the team's four captains.
Igwebuike is one of the most experienced players on the team, having started 31 games in his career. He's racked up 246 tackles and five interceptions in his career, and he's probably the best NFL prospect on Northwestern's roster. The Ohio native has taken on more of a vocal role this offseason after the loss of Anthony Walker Jr.
