Northwestern University celebrates a sweep of Phil Steele's preseason All-Big Ten team, highlighting standout performances from Griffin Wilde and seven teammates.

Northwestern’s football program is preparing for a challenging 2026 slate that includes matchups against Oregon, Iowa and Ohio State. New offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, quarterback Aidan Chiles and a strengthened running back corps bring fresh energy, while the construction of a new Ryan Field promises a more intimate fan experience. The coaching staff, led by head coach David Braun, believes these changes could translate into a competitive season and a potential 8‑4 or 9‑3 record.
