Two of the three quarterbacks competing for the starting job were voted onto the Council by the players. Zack Oliver was not.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Clayton Thorson and redshirt sophomore quarterback Matt Alviti are both on Northwestern's 2015 player-elected Leadership Council. A program spokesman released the list of 14 players on the Council to Inside NU Thursday.
Thorson and Alviti are two of the three QBs competing for the starting quarterback job. The third, Zack Oliver, a senior, was not elected to the leadership council. The three split first-team reps during spring practice, and head coach Pat Fitzgerald has said the competition is still open.
