Caleb Komolafe prepares for Penn State with pregame highlight ritual

Summary

Northwestern running back Caleb Komolafe shared his pregame routine ahead of the game against Penn State on Friday. He watches highlights of Melvin Gordon and Dalvin Cook for inspiration, a practice he has maintained throughout his collegiate career. Komolafe had a breakout 2025 season with 941 rushing yards, but his performance in 2026 has been quieter with only 102 yards to date across three games. The Wildcats will look to establish their running game in their first game at New Ryan Field, which adds importance to Komolafe's potential contributions.
