There is some legitimate speed being added to this Illinois football team in 2019.
It's something that's been lacking for the Illini, and it was good to see an emphasis made on upgrading the overall expeditiousness.
Nowhere has that been more prevalent than in the offensive backfield. Of course, it starts with the most important position on the field.
*Isaiah Williams*
Number one on the field. Number one in your hearts. One of the best recruiting coups for Illinois maybe ever. He brings a talent level rarely seen in Memorial Stadium. As National Analyst for 247 sports Steve Wiltfong put it, "one of the most devastating athletes in the country", he ain't wrong.
