Chidu Bekee brings size, leadership, and untapped upside to NIU’s front seven
Bekee is a 6-foot-3, 227-pound linebacker/edge prospect for Northern Illinois whose biggest calling cards are length, physicality, and a proven high-school résumé as a four-year varsity letterwinner, 2023 first-team all-conference pick, team captain, and team MVP. He has not logged game action at NIU yet, so his current value is more projection than production, but that also makes him an interesting developmental fit for a team looking for a high-motor defender with leadership traits and room to grow.
