The 2019 Illinois Fighting Illini offensive line matured before our eyes over the course of the season, and it sprung then-senior running backs Reggie Corbin and Dre Brown for some memorable runs. Much of the 2019 line returns in 2020, but the graduation of Richie Petitbon and the season-ending injury to Blake Jeresaty creates a roster hole at the guard position. Fortunately, the Illini have talented depth to rely on.
Let’s work our way out from the core of the line.
Centers
Doug Kramer is easily one of the best centers in the conference, and was named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list ahead of his senior season.
