Northwestern saved one of the best for last.

Cornerback Greg Newsome, the last scholarship signee announced by Northwestern on Wednesday, comes from two schools. IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., was where he played this season. Before that, he was at Carol Stream (Ill.) Glenbard North, the alma mater of NU wide receiver Jace James and a running back by the name of Justin Jackson. You might have heard of him.

Newsome enjoyed his experience at IMG, a star-studded program that played all over the country this season and went undefeated. What he enjoyed the most was that teams challenged him as a corner again, both in practice against some of the best players in the nation, and in games against some the best programs in the nation. He said that after he led the state in interceptions as a sophomore at Glenbard North, opponents wouldn't throw to his side his junior year.

After a semester in Florida, Newsome is back home in Chicago and ready start classes at Northwestern in January as an early enrollee.
