Northwestern added three-star defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell as its second commit of the week in the class of 2021. The Louisiana native chose the ‘Cats over a long list of schools including Purdue, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Baylor, Boston College and Tulane.

According to 247sports.com, Sorrell is the 21st overall prospect in Louisiana and ranks 50th in the nation at his position.
