12/10/20 - JR Pace, Sr/2021, Northwestern, 6-1, 205 (DS#22 SS) + More +

Northwestern safety JR Pace has started his own unusual tradition. During the Wildcats' game against Wisconsin on Nov. 21, cameras showed him bending to swipe towels from the waistbands of two Badgers players after Northwestern's Brandon Joseph was tackled following an interception. It wasn't the first time Pace had done it. It was just the first time it was televised. "I've been doing that every game; it just happened to get caught on TV," Pace said Monday.

"I do it just to mess with the offensive players because they get frustrated with it." Illinois players might want to secure their towels Saturday when the rivals meet in Evanston. Pace said Michigan State players didn't seem to have towels hanging from their pants a week after the NU-Wisconsin game. "I was looking for them and none of the offensive players were wearing them," he said. Maybe word got out? Pace doesn't have a stash of keepsake towels, though. "I don't have any of them," he said, "because I always wind up giving them out (to others)." - Chicago Tribune

11/24/20 - John Raine, Sr/2021, Northwestern, 6-1, 231 (DS#6 FB) + More +

Even Pat Fitzgerald will admit it: Northwestern tried to keep John Raine a secret. Despite an impressive resume of two bowl wins and nearly 350 receiving yards in his senior season at Florida Atlantic, the tight end was relatively unknown to a Big Ten crowd until this April, when the whispers of a connection between him and the Wildcats first came about. After four years with the Owls, Raine was looking to use his fifth year of eligibility somewhere new. But when he told 247Sports that NU was among his top four - alongside Florida State, USF and Arkansas - it came a bit out of left field. Twelve days later, Raine announced his commitment to the Cats. He'd bypassed schools who had two of his former offensive coordinators at FAU and bought into what Fitzgerald and new play-caller Mike Bajakian were selling up in Evanston.

"We tried to keep John really quiet," Fitzgerald said at a press conference earlier this season. "(I've) probably got to coach the guys up to be a little bit more coy, but John's a really good player. A really, really good player." Six months since his commitment, Raine is quiet no more. Through the Cats' first four games of the 2020 season, he's debuted as one of fellow graduate transfer Peyton Ramsey's favorite targets, pulling in 11 catches for 112 yards and one touchdown. - The Daily Northwestern
