Watch now: Illinois State lineman Drew Bones stays on duty after injury

ISU’s 2019 starting center, Bones was playing left guard Saturday in ISU’s intrasquad scrimmage because of a torn ligament in his right hand, the same hand he uses to snap the football.

“He’s got to keep a cast on for a month. He’s actually a better guard than center,” Spack said. “We moved Cole (Anderson) to center and he’s done a great job. We may leave Cole at center.”

Anderson had been the starting right tackle. Peyton Asche, a 6-foot-8, 290-pound sophomore, moves up from the second team to take over at right tackle.

Another development forcing a shake up on the Redbird front is the decision of guard Gabe Megginson to end his career.
