Another former Illini is heading to Auburn.
T.J. Neal announced his plans to transfer to the SEC school on Tuesday morning via his Twitter account, three weeks after The News-Gazette reported the linebacker's intentions to leave Illinois.
"It has been an honor to be given a chance to play college football," Neal wrote. "For my senior year, I chose to sign with University of Auburn. I want to thank the coaching staff at the University of Auburn for giving me this opportunity. Also, I want to thank my family, friends and significant other for helping me through this uncomfortable time.
