Illinois State lineman Gabe Megginson on his way back from a back injury

Gabe Megginson’s 2019 football season was curtailed in September with a back injury that required surgery.

Still, seven months later, the Illinois State offensive guard calls it “a dream injury if you had to pick one.”

After undergoing a laser endoscopic discectomy last fall, Megginson is increasingly confident he will be able to return to the Redbirds for the upcoming season.

“I feel really good; knock on wood,” Megginson said.
