NIU hasn't ever had this type of talent!!!
He was rated the #2 dual-threat QB from the 2006 class.

ReplyDeleteGo Huskies!!!
Best of luck to DJ, sorry things didn't work out. Go Irish!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to NIU! I am an Alabama alum living in Western Iowa. I wish you the best of luck, and the opportunity to compete instead of being some pretty boy's human shield. I have nothing respect for Coach Novak and the Huskies, and am sure you will thrive with a classy coach in a solid program.
ReplyDeleteRoll Tide!
Mr Schatten has no class with the pretty boy comment. That being said, I am a ND fan but a Western Michigan Student. Do your thing DJ, and dont hurt us to bad, I dont think the Bronco's have ever seen anything like you. Go Irish
