The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder announced his commitment on Twitter:

Gold is listed as a defensive end by Rivals but will most likely be a three-technique defensive tackle for the Wildcats. He chose Northwestern over 27 other reported offers, including Power Five schools Arkansas, Boston College, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech.
Gold is the first defensive tackle in Northwestern's class, which is currently ranked 30th in the nation by Rivals.
