DT Sullivan pledges to NIU
Northern Illinois and head coach Rod Carey have come flying out of the recruiting gates for the Huskies Class of 2018. With just over a week from signing it's Class of 2017, NIU was able to add it's third known in-state verbal commitment tonight from Plainfield East junior defensive tackle recruit Jack Sullivan (6-foot-5, 245 pounds).
"I went up to NIU today with my Mom and I went to give NIU my verbal commitment," Sullivan said. "NIU just feels right and they have a lot to offer so I committed."
Sullivan, who played defensive end and tight end for the Bengals and head coach Mike Romeli in 2016 discussed why he decided to end his recruiting process and pledge to the NIU Huskies.
"NIU is close to home. They offer a great business program and they also play great football. I really like the coaches at NIU and they are all just great people. Once NIU offered me I was really more and more interested in them. I didn't want to wait and I also didn't want to drag out my recruiting process. I feel great about my decision and I wanted to lock it down."
Sullivan is also thrilled to have already wrapped up his recruiting process.
"I'm just not someone who wanted to drag out the whole recruiting process. I'm just happy I made my decision and I don't even want to have to think about recruiting anymore. I can just enjoy high school and not worry about it."
Jack Sullivan is verbally committed to Northern Illinois University.
Sullivan joins Danville offensive4 tackle Julian Pearl and Andrew tight end Mike DeHaan in the NIU Huskies Class of 2018.
