Illinois' returning starting quarterback received high praise from his head coach ahead of the Fighting Illini's 2025 season.
It's obvious that Illinois head coach Bret Bielema has faith in quarterback Luke Altmyer. As soon as the QB transferred from Ole Miss, Bielema made him the starter, and Altmyer's performances on the field have only gotten better since.
Earlier this week, Bielema joined The Jim Rome Show and talked about just how much he respects his quarterback, and what exactly makes him so special.
