Northern Illinois and head coach Thomas Hammock added it's second known in-state verbal commitment earlier today when Aurora Christian junior QB Ethan Hampton (6-foot-2, 180 pounds) announced his verbal commitment via his Twitter account.

"I really love the coaching staff at NIU and what they stand for as a program," Hampton said. "They care about the players as people and not just players. I also love how close NIU is from home and I also love the community in and around NIU."

So why make a college decision this early in the recruiting process?

"I just feel like there is something different about NIU. I got a great feeling about them as soon as I stepped onto campus."

Hampton last last week discusses his recent NIU offer and unofficial visit.

"NIU quarterback coach (Eric Eidsness) came into school a few weeks ago to watch me throw, then I went to a Junior Day at NIU that following Sunday. Head coach Thomas Hammock also was in school to watch me throw and then I added an offer later that day from NIU. I really love the new coaches at NIU including Coach Hammock. The NIU coaches always make me feel wanted and I really enjoyed my last visit."

Hampton is now the second verbal commitment for the NIU Huskies Class of 2021. Hampton joins Chicago Solorio wide receiver Brian Whitsey in committing to NIU this winter.
