Illinois football is one step closer to landing a top cornerback for 2024.
The Illini managed to get to eight wins last season, which was the most victories since the Rose Bowl run back in 2007. A big part of this great run by the Orange and Blue was our tremendous defense.
Illinois’ defense was led by a secondary that absolutely shut down the opposing offenses. Three of those defensive backs on the great Illini defense were then selected in the 2023 NFL Draft. That leaves a lot of holes in the secondary.
