Illinois football is now eyeing a potential quarterback for the future.
What Bret Bielema has done with the Illini quarterback room is impressive. We went from having very little production from the quarterback position to having one of the best quarterbacks we have seen in a long time in Tommy DeVito.
DeVito is now gone, and Bielema brought in a couple of solid transfer players who will help the team from day one. But the program is also thinking about the future. We will need more quarterback depth in the future, and that is where Locklan Hewlett comes into play.
