"It's a great opportunity to come here to Northern Illinois and be able to be a part of the program that Coach Novak has built and to join the Huskie family. This is an exciting time for my wife and I,"

Northern Illinois strong safety Alex Kube (Cary, Ill./Cary-Grove) was named a first team Freshman All-American by The Sporting News Friday continuing a tradition of freshman All-America honorees for the Huskies. Kube led NIU with 111 tackles, the second-highest total in the nation by a freshman in 2007.
Kube's honor marks the third consecutive season in which a Huskie has earned a first team nod, joining center Eddie Adamski (2006) and linebacker Tim McCarthy (2005). Northern Illinois has had a player on The Sporting News' Freshman All-America squad for five straight seasons beginning with Doug Free in 2003 and Chris Nendick in 2004.
