CHAMPAIGN — It is going to be a busy spring session for Jeff George Jr., the only scholarship quarterback able to practice. The son of the Illini great is all for it.
“I’m good.” George said after Tuesday’s opening spring practice. “It’s always great to get back out there working. This is what we’re here for.
“I’m just doing whatever the coaches tell me to do. They’ve got the plan. They know what they’re doing.”
George was a part-time starter in 2016. He led the team to a win against Michigan State before Wes Lunt took over as starter for the final game of his career.
