Wide receiver Braden Blueitt caught head coach David Braun off guard with a commitment on the last day of his official visit.

"I had a meeting with him on Sunday morning and that's when I pulled the trigger," said Blueitt, who is tied for the highest-ranked commit of Braun's tenure thus far. "I've talked to other schools, visited other places but the entire time, Northwestern has been my favorite.

"Whenever I was there and talking to Coach Braun, the players, I really thought I saw a place for myself there."

Blueitt is the first wide receiver to announce his commitment to Northwestern for 2025, and the second recruit to commit on Tuesday, joining three-star CB Marquet Dorsey Jr.

Both have a 5.7 Rivals Rating, the highest mark for a three-star prospect.
