Athletic Communications Student Assistant

Change can often be a very positive thing, Aaron Bailey knows this first hand in his college football experience.

A highly recruited quarterback out of Bolingbrook High School in Illinois, Bailey was no stranger to stardom. The 6-2 quarterback, a four-star recruit, committed to the University of Illinois and began play his freshman season in 2013.

Through two years of minimal playing time, Bailey knew it was time for a change. Bailey would go on to look at a variety of schools seeing what they could offer, and more importantly, how he fit in to the environment.
