NORMAL — Illinois State lost its final scheduled game of the 2020 football season and its All-American defensive end Friday.
The COVID-19 pandemic claimed the sole surviving 2020 Redbird game for the coming fall when ISU and Eastern Illinois jointly announced the cancellation of the Sept. 12 Mid America Classic game at Hancock Stadium.
Also, senior Romeo McKnight announced on Twitter he has submitted his name to the NCAA transfer portal.
"With the announcement of MVCF (MVFC) season being moved to spring and such uncertain times it has been and continues to be a challenge," McKnight said on Twitter.
