    Cam Porter: "I know I can overcome anything," | ACL recoveries, Leadership at NW, Adversity & more!

    After declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, former Northwestern running back Cam Porter joined the Call The Huddle podcast to talk his career so far while he gets ready for the next level of football. Following five full seasons with the Wildcats, Porter entered 2025 as a team captain before losing his season to an ACL tear. The 5-foot-11, 215 pound runner said he's learned he can overcome anything with work, and that he'll carry those lessons into the NFL. Through six seasons with Northwestern, Porter put together 1,908 rushing yards and 425 through the air along with 19 touchdowns during his time. Porter has proven that he's both talented and difficult to tackle, and has plenty to offer heading into the NFL.

    After declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, former Ole Miss safety Wydett Williams Jr. joins the Call The Huddle podcast to talk his career so far along with his offseason process. Following two years playing Division 2 football as a first-time safety, Williams made the leap to Louisiana-Monroe in 2024 before joining the Ole Miss Rebels during Summer of 2025. Through one campaign with the Rebels (2025) Williams put up the third most total tackles on his team (73) while adding a team-high three interceptions, and proved himself at the highest levels. The 6-foot-2, 205 pound defender said he's taken lessons from every step along his journey, and it's brought him closer to his faith as well.
