[NU Sports] I want to see Trevor play

[Jonathan Hodges]

Note that just now on Twitter (following NU's Wednesday morning practice),
Scout's NU reporter Chris Emma said that Persa fully participated in
practice today, looked good, and Fitz said he'll start on Saturday.  Just
thought I'd share with everyone, I'm sure there will be more details in
longer form later in the day.
