Illinois Football names five 2019 captains

Here we go.

There they are. Those are your five Illinois Football captains for the 2019 season.

Don’t get me wrong; I agree with ALL of these choices.

But there aren’t many programs in the country that are going to have a...

  • Punter
  • Linebacker
  • Another linebacker
  • Offensive Lineman
  • Another Offensive Lineman

....as its captains.

But it makes sense, and I love it.

Palczewski and Kramer were molded by Nick Allegretti the past few years.

Jake Hansen (adversity) and Dele Harding (also adversity) have grown in the program.
