Northwestern's already impressive 2023 recruiting class still has the chance to get a lot stronger.

One of the Cats' top remaining targets is edge rusher Adepoju Abebawore, who could become the fourth four-star defensive end in a Wildcats class that’s currently ranked fourth in the nation by Rivals.

Defensive line coach Marty Long would love nothing more than to be able to coach another Adebawore as he terrorizes opposing quarterbacks.

We caught up with Adebawore to see where things stand in his recruitment.
