Hayden Eligon II publicly announced his commitment on Thanksgiving Day. But the three-star wide receiver from Los Alamitos (Calif.) said knew Northwestern was the place for him in the postgame locker room last Saturday.
"[It clicked] after watching them win against Purdue," said the 6-foot-4, 189-pounder, who was on his official visit to NU last weekend. "Being in the locker room with the guys, the coaches, seeing them enjoy each other. It felt like a brotherhood up there and that was something I wanted to be a part of."
Eligon is the 11th commitment in the Wildcats' Class of 2024, and its second wide receiver. He joins local two-star Carson Grove in the inaugural class.
