The departure of Luke Altmyer is going to be a rough one for the Illinois football team.
Altmyer did some special things for the Illini, as he helped lead us to back-to-back bowl games, and both of those were victories over SEC opponents.
Now that Illinois has moved on from Altmyer and all of his success, we are on the lookout for his replacement. There is talent on the roster, but on Sunday night, the Illini found the next man up.
According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, Katin Houser has committed to Illinois.
