veteran Northwestern DL with steady production and sneaky playmaking juice
In the 2025 season, Najee Story started to stand out as a sturdy, high-effort Big Ten defensive lineman, finishing with 20 tackles, 1.0 sack, 1.0 tackle for loss, two pass breakups and an interception while appearing in every game[11][12]. The Northwestern graduate student brings size (6-4, 300), experience, and versatility inside, and his résumé also includes three-time Academic All-Big Ten honors and captain-level reliability dating back to high school[7][2]. He’s not just a plugger in the middle—he flashes awareness, hands, and enough disruption to help a defensive front win snaps.
