"Noah continues a solid string of Brandon Valley players coming to Northwestern and we are thrilled to add him to next year's freshman class," commented Head Coach Brian Wede. Noah is a strong pitcher who will undoubtedly continue to improve when he gets to college. We love his work ethic, who he is as a young man, and feel like he is a great addition to both our team and the Northwestern community."
