NORMAL — Illinois State and Normal Community High School have long been football partners.
From Marcus King to Andy Ziebarth to Franky West, former Ironmen have graced the Redbird football roster for several decades.
That will continue well into the 2020s with the addition of NCHS linebacker Tye Niekamp and safety Camden Maas, who signed preferred walk on agreements with the Redbirds on Wednesday.
Also joining the Redbirds as a preferred walk on is Appleton (Wis.) North fullback Cal Martinie.
