Chicago's Big Ten team lived up to its billing on Sunday, landing two Chicago area commits for its 2023 class.

Quarterback Aidan Gray and wide receiver Frank Covey IV, from Naperville North and Prospect, respectively, both announced their commitments to the Wildcats on Twitter on Sunday afternoon.

Both players' recruitment followed a similar path. They both visited Northwestern for a Junior Day event last Saturday and received their offers from the Wildcats on Wednesday. So it's fitting that they both committed on Sunday.

Gray, a three-star quarterback, has been on the Wildcats' radar for quite some time and visited for a game last fall.

The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder had seven offers from MAC programs, but Northwestern was his first from a Power Five program. It didn't take him long to decide that he wanted to stay home for college and become a Wildcat.

"I am beyond excited and thankful to say I will continue my football and academic career at Northwestern University with the opportunity to represent the city of Chicago!" said Gray in his commitment tweet. "To Wildcat Nation, I'm home. Go Cats."

Covey, who is listed as an athlete by Rivals, was recruited as a 6-foot-2 outside receiver for the Wildcats.

Unlike Gray, Northwestern's offer was Covey's very first from a college program. As it turned out, it was the only one he would need.

"Thank you to the NU coaching staff or their belief in me as a person and as a player," he stated in his announcement tweet. "I cannot wait to help Northwestern bring home a Big Ten Championship! Go Cats!"

The addition of Gray and Covey gives Northwestern the second and third members of its 2023 class. They join three-star offensive lineman Dylan Senda, who committed to the Wildcats on Dec. 20, 2021.
