Talk about a whirlwind week for scholarship offers. Now Brookfield Central class of 2010 running back
Xavier Whitaker (6-3, 200) is reporting that he too has added an offer to his ever growing list of college suitors.
“Northern Iowa offered me today,” Whitaker said in a message to WisFootball.net on Thursday evening. “Coach (Jovan) Dewitt called me and told me that they were offering me. He said after watching a few seconds of my highlight tape that they knew that they were going to offer me.
“I was pretty surprised that they offered me because I didn't hear much from them for the past couple weeks.”
Whitaker had previously garnered scholarship offers from Indiana, Buffalo, Eastern Illinois and Illinois State. In addition, interest has come from Wisconsin, Eastern Michigan, Alabama, Memphis, Louisville and North Dakota State.
The sixth known state prospect to garner an offer from UNI, Whitaker joins Milwaukee Marquette defensive end Cameron Botticelli, Milwaukee Marquette defensive back Michael Trotter, Milwaukee Marquette linebacker Marcus Trotter, La Crosse Logan offensive lineman Matt Eggen and Brookfield Central defensive lineman Bryce Gilbert.
Whitaker totaled 116 carries for 872 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior in route to earning CNI Newspapers high honorable-mention all-suburban,
Waukesha Freeman first-team all-Waukesha County, first-team all-conference and Greater Metro Conference Co-Offensive Back of the Year honors.
