Illinois WR Desmond Cain transfers to North Dakota State

Former Illinois wide receiver Desmond Cain has found a new home. The sophomore pass catcher announced on Sunday night that he’ll be leaving Champaign to join the North Dakota State Bison. Cain originally announced his intent to leave the Fighting Illini back on December 1.

I would like to start off by thanking the University of Illinois, Tim Beckman, and Bill Cubit for giving me a shot at a great degree and allowing me to play for one of the greatest institutions. I would like to announce that I will be furthering my education and football career at North Dakota State for the next two years!
