In 2018, the defensive line for the Illini is going to look completely different than what we see today.
All of the projected starters this season are going to be gone because they are seniors this year. Behind the starters are a group backups who hope to see time over the next couple of seasons.
Gimel President, Brandon Roberts, and Teko Powell will all have departed by 2018 as well.
So, for the starting defensive line for 2018, Illinois is looking at the probable starters at defensive tackle being Jamal Milan and Tito Odenigbo.
Milan will be a junior and Odenigbo will be a senior in 2018.
