Illinois Football: Pre-spring practice quarterback outlook for the Illini

You might be thinking, wow, what is this guy doing talking about spring practice already? Well, don’t get too excited but it is only two months away. One of the positions I am pretty good with heading into spring practice is quarterback.

Current Outlook

The obvious No. 1 quarterback on the depth chart is the incumbent starter, Brandon Peters. He had a chance to go to the NFL but decided to come back for his final season. That is probably a good move considering I don’t believe he would have been drafted.

Peters had one of the best seasons behind center that we have seen in quite some time.
