Devin O'Rourke is the only four-star prospect in Northwestern's 2018 class. He is also the highest ranked, coming in at No. 201 in the nation and No. 3 in the state.

Most importantly, he is a state champion.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound defensive end got to live the dream and win the state title his senior year. His stellar play on the defensive line - where he was often double-or even triple-teamed - helped lead Frankfort (Ill.) Lincoln Way East to a perfect 14-0 record and the Illinois Class 8A state title this season.
