Columbus Scotus junior wide receiver/tight end Garrett Oakley has committed to Northern Illinois to play college football, announcing his decision on Twitter on Wednesday morning.
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Oakley, a Class C-1 honorable-mention all-stater last season, chose the Huskies over offers from South Dakota, South Dakota State, North Dakota and North Dakota State.
Oakley, who runs a 4.6 40-yard dash, is the third Nebraska player from the class of 2022 to commit to Northern Illinois, joining Omaha Skutt quarterback Caden Becker and Millard South linebacker Jake Gassaway.
Dreams to reality.
