Farmington Hills (Mich.) Harrison wide receiver Sidney Stewart recently received a couple new scholarship offers. He seems ready to accept one of them.

"Northwestern and Ohio just offered," Stewart said. "Right now I'm leaning more toward Northwestern.

"I'm taking an unofficial visit to Northwestern this weekend. They play Wisconsin. I believe that's where I'm going to go.

"If Notre Dame comes around, I'll take a look at them. But there's a big chance I'll commit to Northwestern this weekend.

"Northwestern is number 11 or 12 in the country academically. They run a spread offense I think I would fit into."

In addition to Northwestern and Ohio, Stewart also has scholarship offers from Ball State and Central Michigan.
