NIU football added 14 new members to the roster, including a former Navy SEAL

DeKALB — The football team added 14 new members to their roster as part of Signing Day on Wednesday, including a former U.S. Navy SEAL with championship experience.

Redshirt senior safety Greg DeLuca will be a walk-on for NIU after spending the last six years as a member of the U.S. Navy.

Previously, the 28-year old based out of Boonton Township, New Jersey played two seasons of football and won two national championships in lacrosse for Duke University.

There are two other transfer players joining NIU. Redshirt senior quarterback Andrew Haidet from Houston Baptist University saw action in three games last season.
