If you have some NCAA eligibility left, Northwestern could use you in the secondary next week against Wisconsin.

Northwestern has approximately 2.5 healthy cornerbacks. Montre Hartage and Trae Williams are back, now with a year of experience under their belts. Unfortunately, their backups can’t say the same. With this week’s announcement that Brian Bullock and Roderick Campbell are out for the year, it’s déjà vu for the Wildcats’ secondary. Marcus McShepard, who has been injured since Nevada and is up in the air for Wisconsin, is the only other cornerback on the roster who had played FBS football before this season.
