A former highly-touted Michigan State quarterback under Mel Tucker has found himself a new home in the Big Ten.
Katin Houser announced on Sunday evening that he would be headed back to the Midwest at Illinois, according to Pete Thamel.
That’s right, Bret Bielema strikes again.
The Illini have consistently had good quarterback play under Bielema and he’s done an impressive job of turning Illinois around. Houser is only going to get better under Bielema and that’s what’ll make the 2026 matchup with Illinois so interesting. Before, that was just another game, but now it’s going to be circled on a lot of calendars, including his former teammates.
