Illinois football has a quarterback who has high hopes of going in the 2026 NFL Draft next year.
Although his journey at Illinois has been rocky, quarterback Luke Altmyer is poised for a strong 2025 campaign, which could greatly improve his NFL Draft stock.
The Illini have not had a quarterback drafted to the NFL since 2002 when Kurt Kittner was taken in the 5th round by the Atlanta Falcons.
