It was announced yesterday that defensive tackle Teko Powell will transfer out of the program. He cites program stability as the reasoning behind his transfer.
Powell’s career with the Illini was short lived. He accumulated a total of 34 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble during his time in Champaign.
According to Matt Daniels of The News-Gazette, Powell is drawing interest from Kentucky, Miami, and Southern Illinois.
This is a sad ending to a player I thought had a chance at being pretty good with the Illini.
I remember when he was coming out of high school in Miami.
