Josh Wiersema brings all-purpose hustle for Northwestern (IA)
In the 2026 season, Josh Wiersema is a sophomore wide receiver for Northwestern (IA) who also flashed on special teams by recovering a fumble at the Western Illinois 20 in the Raiders’ Aug. 27 opener, a sign of the kind of high-motor, details-first player coaches love[1][6]. At 6-foot, 190 pounds, he looks like a versatile, physical slot/outside option rather than just a stat-sheet guy, and the early-season usage suggests trust in his effort and awareness[1][6]. If you want a receiver who can help beyond catches, he’s worth a look.
