NORMAL — Jeff Proctor isn’t the only one in line, but he is at the front of it.
Needing to replace the skills of All-American tailback James Robinson, Illinois State turns to its returning stable of tailbacks. There, the Redbirds find Proctor with his hand raised, waiting to be called upon.
“I do,” said Proctor. “I’m ready to show what I can do.”
Proctor received 112 carries (less than a third of Robinson’s 364) and netted 476 rushing yards in 2019. A knee injury in the 11th game of the regular season caused Proctor to miss ISU’s final four contests.
