Verdis Brown was named the starter at the right guard position earlier this week. for the Illinois football team.
The Illini had yet to name the starter at right guard before the 2020 football season. On Tuesday, head coach Lovie Smith named Brown the starter at the position. I am excited for Brown to finally show Illini fans what he is capable of doing.
