developmental Northwestern lineman with versatility and room to grow
Uihlein is a young Northwestern offensive lineman with a sturdy 6-2, 245-pound frame and a multi-sport background that points to coordination and toughness, but he did not see game action as a true first-year in 2024. Northwestern’s roster notes say he did not allow a sack in his senior season at Lake Forest and chose the Wildcats over several other offers, which suggests intriguing developmental upside; the key question is whether his leverage, power, and technique can translate against Big Ten speed and length. He looks like a fit for a team that values coachable, high-upside line depth.
