CHAMPAIGN — He won’t line up at offensive tackle. And he probably isn’t going to play defensive end. At 6-foot, 195 pounds, Trenard Davis is a bit on the light side for those positions.
But the Illinois sophomore is willing to try anything. Recruited as a defensive back, Davis has worked at receiver and on special teams.
His current position: quarterback. He first moved there in the fall, serving as a backup to Jeff George Jr. With Chayce Crouch limited because of a shoulder injury, Davis is getting plenty of reps during spring practice.
“I love it,” Davis said.
