Northwestern announces graduate transfer, six walk-ons as part of 2017 class

Northwestern will add a graduate transfer and six walk-on players to its 2017 class, Pat Fitzgerald announced on Twitter Wednesday.

The most notable addition of the seven players is Joe Spivak, a two-star defensive lineman who chose to walk on to Northwestern Northwestern over offers from Michigan State (!!!) and a bevy of non-Power 5 schools.

JOE SPIVAK IS THE BEST PREFERRED WALK-ON EVER.
