2027 OT Cade Reikowski commits to Northwestern
Northwestern’s first big visit weekend of 2026 paid immediate dividends on Sunday when offensive tackle Cade Reikowski committed to the Wildcats after a two-day unofficial visit.
Reikowski, a 6-foot-6 and 290 pounds from Pewaukee (Wis.), is the first offensive lineman to commit to Northwestern in the Class of 2027. He was offered by the Wildcats last summer on July 1, went to their camp on July 7 and visited for the Oregon and Minnesota games last season.
He committed to the Wildcats over offers from Washington State, Sacramento State and South Dakota State, though he also took game visits to Auburn and Minnesota.

Northwestern’s Class of 2027 currently ranks 31st in the nation.
