Illinois Tight Ends Surprise Coach Bielema | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

With Cole Rusk gone and veteran options scarce, Feagin, rising sophomore Christian Abney, and freshman Will Vala are stepping up — turning a once-weak position into a potential offensive game-changer. As the QB, OL, and WRs undergo major changes, this unexpected tight end depth could be the key to unlocking a new dimension for Illinois’ offense — and maybe even their season.
