NORMAL — The family path into college football looks like an attractive avenue to Normal Community High School's Dexter Niekamp. Niekamp has committed to sign a national letter of intent with Illinois State where he will join brother Tye on the Redbird defense and play for their father Travis, ISU's defensive coordinator. Dexter Niekamp is a 6-foot-4, 225-pound defensive end/tight end who will be a senior at NCHS in the upcoming season. He was a first team Pantagraph All-Area selection and a first team all-Big 12 Conference pick in 2022 for the Ironmen.
