Illinois QB Shake-Up with Katin Houser | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

Illinois just shook up its QB situation, sending Luke Altmyer packing and bringing in dual-threat Katin Houser from East Carolina — a Big Ten vet with over 3,300 passing yards and 19 TDs. What’s sparking buzz? His sneaky red zone rushing ability — nine rushing TDs — gives the Illini a dangerous escape hatch. Houser admits running isn’t his first instinct, but it’s his safety net against pressure. With a new OL and tougher Big Ten defenses, his arm talent and mobility could be the key to keeping Illinois’ offense humming this season.
