Jayshon Platt’s Return Could Change Illinois’ Season | Illinois Fighting Illini Football News

Illinois football’s wide receiver corps was hit hard early, losing key players Alex Perry and Jayshon Platt to injuries before the season even started. But they bounced back with a dominant 42-23 win over UAB. The good news? Platt, who transferred from Florida Atlantic where he racked up over 700 yards and 5 TDs, is making major progress in rehab. Known for his speed and slot mastery, Platt could return soon—possibly vs. SIU or Ohio State—and could be a game-changer as Illinois faces tougher opponents down the stretch.
