Tony Adams has had some memorable and record-altering moments for the Illini. Last October, he had a late-game interception against Wisconsin that set up James McCourt’s game-winning field goal, bringing the Illini their most memorable win of the 2019 season. Shortly after that, Adams showed up again against Purdue, that time, with a pick-six.
Those were Adams days as a cornerback, which won’t live long now. Adams told the media Tuesday during a Zoom news conference that he is back to playing safety.
“It’s all good. I did it before you know, so it’s good being back there,” Adams said.
