Northwestern DB Rod Heard has entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer, @mzenitz and I have learned for @247Sports.
Heard posted 85 tackles, 4 TFLs and 1 INT this season. Multi-year starter and one of the best DBs in the Big Ten this year.

We assumed Rod was going pro. If he thinks he needs another year to maximize his NFL chances, we 100% support him.
But we'd have a hard time thinking of a Cat we love more than @rod_heard.
When he's playing on Sunday...it needs to say "Northwestern" under his name๐ฅ๐๐๐
What itโs all about! Congratulations to these men, their families, and so many others who helped them reach a milestone that will impact the next 40 years! ๐
