Now that the season has concluded, in taking a step back I wanted to look at the entire team and reflect. The Illini were never short on talent and star power this past season, but there is one group of players we haven't talked about much. The walk-ons.
The Illini had 17 players on their roster this past season and the NCAA allows for 13 scholarships to be given per team. This group of walk-ons is compiled of just four guys: Connor Serven, Zach Griffith, Edgar Padilla Jr., and Tyler Underwood.
Connor Serven
Serven played in six games this past season, making his debut against North Carolina A&T.
