Early enrollee freshman Micah Dew-Treadway jump-started his college football career this spring, joining classmates Tristen Hoge, Te’von Coney and Jerry Tillery learning about life at the next level. The Chicagoland product, with projectable size and length, will now go about transitioning from high school standout to freshman defensive lineman—quite a fall down the totem pole.
