Watch now: Illinois State football holds intrasquad scrimmage

NORMAL – As established players Jeff Proctor, Jason Lewan and Zeke Vandenburgh watched from the sideline Saturday because of minor injuries, additional snaps opened up for younger players Saturday during Illinois State’s intrasquad scrimmage at Hancock Stadium.

Redshirt freshman tailback Nigel White topped all rushers with 42 yards on six carries.

“Nigel is really fast, south Florida fast,” ISU coach Brock Spack said. “He’s got another gear we haven’t seen around here at running back maybe since Marshaun (Coprich). He can put his foot in the ground and get vertical real quick.”

Moving up to the first-team defense in place of Lewan and Vandenburgh are lineman Jude Okolo and linebacker Jeremiah Jordan.
