The transfer portal is bucking its head right now, and the Illinois football program is in for the ride.
Through the first few days of the transfer portal officially being open, the Illini lost quite a few players. The number is north of 20 transfers out, but at least Bret Bielema is starting to turn the tide a bit.
Safety is a key position that needs to be addressed this offseason, and it has started to get addressed from the transfer portal. One of the under-the-radar additions to the roster so far has been safety Lavon Williams.
