Northwestern is counting on some players to step it up a notch when it comes to performance this year. Last year, it was Anthony Walker who burst onto the scene and ended up an All-American. One could argue that Godwin Igwebuike, Warren Long and Dean Lowry had breakout campaigns too, though not on quite the scale of Walker. That’s what made the team so good. Here’s who we expect to have a similar year in 2016.
