Illinois OL Coach Miller: Building Depth, No Rush on Starters

Illinois offensive line coach, Bart Miller, is taking a cautious approach to naming a starting five this spring, with four spots up for grabs following key player departures and center Jake Renfros injury. The focus is on installing the offense with inexperienced players rotating in, as Renfro recovers from a lower-body injury. Fourth-year center TJ McMillen is stepping up to fill Renfros spot, while Brandon Henderson is set to return to right guard. Young gun Brandon Hansen is making waves at left guard, and Nathan Knapik and Christian Martin are competing for the tackle positions. Spring practices aim to build depth and ownership before fall camp begins. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
