"I picked Northwestern because the coaches made me feel like a student-athlete and not just a football player." Sutton said. "When I visited Northwestern they asked me what my goals were in the classroom. "For me it's the best of both worlds. I get to play football in the Big Ten Conference and I also get to study at one of the best Universities in the world. "Also when I visited Northwestern, everyone made me feel at home. It was a comfort level that I felt and I knew that I wanted to go to Northwestern." The Wildcats are ecstatic that they have a running back in the fold of Sutton's stature. Sutton's size and speed are almost identical to that of former Wildcat All-American Damien Anderson. At 5-9 and 190-pounds, Sutton runs a 4.38 40-yard dash. He's perfect for Northwestern's offensive scheme. Sutton will be a four-year varsity starter in 2004. He rushed for 2,539 and 35 touchdowns as a junior and was named all-state. "I have every Hoban rushing record," Sutton said. "Now I'm going after the state rushing record for yards in a career. "I need 2,020 yards to be the #1 all-time rusher in the history of Ohio football." Sutton joins another Ohioan, Mike Dinard, as Northwestern verbal commitments. The Wildcats have started their recruiting season with a couple of 3-star prospects. |
