Cam Porter
Responsible for the only touchdown of the first half, Porter got things going early on his senior day, trotting in a seven-yard score to cap off Northwestern’s opening 4 play, 53-yard drive to take an early lead. Later, he tacked on a 34-yard score, making him the first NU player with two rushing touchdowns since Evan Hull in September 2021.
