Ex-Illini and area player in all-star games

East-West Shrine Game: 2 p.m., Saturday

at Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Fla. (NFL Network)

Wes Lunt

Ex-Illinois quarterback is one of three signal-callers on the West team. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Lunt has the arm to make all the throws necessary but is limited in his mobility and has an injury history he’ll need to address.

Hardy Nickerson

Former Illinois linebacker will suit up for the West roster. The 6-foot, 230-pound Nickerson compiled a team-high 107 tackles to go along with two interceptions in his lone season with the Illini.

Chunky Clements

Made a name for himself during four seasons along the defensive line at Illinois.
