Illinois Fighting Illini sophomore Louis Dorsey returns as the top touchdown target from a year ago. Expectations for him are high even in the midst of uncertainty surrounding his role in a new offense led by a new offensive coordinator under a pretty shaky quarterback situation.
Dorsey was one of five Fighting Illini freshmen — and the only one on offense — to make BTN.com’s Big Ten All-Freshman Team. At 6-foot-6 and weighing 225 pounds (up from the 205 pounds he weighed as a high school senior), Dorsey is an imposing, athletic freak of a tight end who now understands what it’s like to endure the rigors of a Big Ten season.
