Illinois Football: Illini targeting grad transfer Brandon Council

We have a nice young core who has stabilized the foundation of this team. There are some veterans who have been here for a few years and have contributed their blood, sweat and tears to the cause. And then we have been able to pull in some graduate transfers who have put us over the top and back into the postseason.

Snagging graduate transfers is an important part of the college game today. Illinois quarterback Brandon Peters was a graduate transfer. Superstar wide receiver Josh Imatorbhebhe was a graduate transfer. I could go on, but you get the point.
