Paul Creighton (STC / TE Coach) on LaPorte: “We are so excited to welcome Noah to the Northwestern family! Noah has proven time and time again that his work ethic is unmatched, and will serve him well as he steps foot onto campus and competes at the Big Ten level. A true leader, on and off the field, Noah will add something special to the Tight End room that extends far beyond just his athletic abilities. His versatility, catch radius and physical playstyle will make him a key addition to our TE group.”
