As we head into the 2025 season, the Illinois football team has many reasons to be excited.

The Illini are coming off a 10-win campaign in which we won a bowl game and beat a solid SEC program. Most of the players from that great season returned to Champaign.

With so much talent back on the roster, Illinois is poised to make a run at the College Football Playoff. A big reason for such a high level of play is that the Illini have talent like Gabe Jacas.

On Tuesday, Jacas got some national love.
