Reese Edwards and Jack Dwyer are anxious to return to their successful high school football programs under evolving Illinois High School Association guidelines.
In 2021, Edwards and Dwyer hope to begin helping Illinois State enjoy continued success as well.
Edwards, a linebacker from Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin, and Dwyer, a safety from Lake Zurich, are the first two high school players to commit to signing a national letter of intent with the Redbirds.
