In Northwestern’s top 10 players of 2022 ranking, the top three separated themselves from the rest. Among Inside NU’s 14 voters, 13 ballots had some combination of Adetomiwa Adebawore, Evan Hull and Peter Skoronski in their top three players. It should come to no surprise that these were Northwestern’s three best players from 2022, and we’ll kick off the final trio with the Wildcats’ highest ranked defensive player:
Gavin Dorsey (3):
Stats: 38 tackles, 27 solo, nine tackles-for-loss, five sacks, two forced fumbles, one pass breakup
Going into the 2022 season, we ranked Adebawore as the fourth-most important player for the Wildcats, and it was widely known that he would be the anchor on Northwestern’s defense.
