CHAMPAIGN — Drew Cayce will graduate in May. His career as an Illinois walk-on will end sooner, with the countdown really hitting full speed starting with today's regular season home finale against Indiana set for a 7 p.m. tip at State Farm Center.
Cayce calls it a "bittersweet moment." But he isn't done with the Illini. The Libertyville native has two more years in Champaign, as he'll transition to graduate assistant on Brad Underwood's coaching staff starting with the 2019-20 season.
"Me and Coach Underwood have been talking about me potentially getting into coaching eventually," Cayce said.
