Illinois Football: Dejon Brissett departure hurts Illini WR depth

When the Illini snag graduate transfers, I expect them to stay with the program until at least the beginning of the season. That wasn’t the case with Dejon Brissett. He decided to flip his graduate transfer commitment from Illinois to Virginia on Monday night. This news was posted by Brissett on Twitter.

Brissett is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound graduate transfer wide receiver from Mississauga, Ontario but attended high school at Lake Forest Academy in Illinois. He played just over three seasons with the Richmond Spiders of the FCS but was injured during his senior campaign after just three games.
