With our position group previews in the books, it’s time to make some assessments regarding the roster as a whole. Here, our writers debate which unit of the team will be able to find the most success next season. Let us know which group you have the highest expectations for in the comments below.
Eli Karp: Defensive Backs
Linebacker brings back the most experience of any position group, but the secondary doesn’t lag far behind. Going off only 2019 isn’t a fair assessment to the group, but Northwestern has two playmaking safeties in seniors JR Pace and Travis Whillock.
