Northwestern’s veteran DL whose career was derailed by injuries
Sean McEvilly was a longtime Northwestern defensive lineman whose biggest differentiator was his experience and size: he was listed at 6-5 and about 300 pounds, and he started 13 of 19 career games before health issues shut him down. In 2015, Northwestern said he retired because of chronic orthopedic issues after repeated foot injuries, so the fit question is less about current production and more about his past profile as a sturdy interior presence with real academic polish. In his final college chapter, durability—not motor—was the headline.
