The Illinois football team went through some changes over the weekend.
It looks like the Illini won’t have three experienced players on the roster when the 2020 season kicks off this fall. The three players who the Orange and Blue will be without include Ricky Smalling, Ra’Von Bonner and Jake Cerny.
