“We’re really excited to add someone of Joey’s caliber to our program,” Northwestern coach Chris Collins said in a statement. “He brings four years of ACC experience and he’s a veteran guy on the front line who has been very accomplished at a high level. He’ll bring great athleticism, physicality and size, but most importantly, experience to our team as we head into next season.”
