Northwestern hosted one of the most sought-after running backs in the country over the weekend for an official visit.

Four-star, Rivals250 running back Damari Alston of College Park (Ga.) Woodward Academy has more than 50 schools on his offer list, and it's a veritable who's who of power programs, including 2020 playoff participants Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame.

Northwestern coaches have been pursuing Alston for quite some time, and once they got him to Evanston were able to impress him with the campus, the facilities and the people associated with the program.
