Losing over 20 players to the transfer portal sounded like a disaster for Illinois football, but there’s a silver lining: the addition of Lavon Williams at safety. Williams, coming in from East Texas A&M, brings a ton of experience—75 tackles and seven pass deflections last season alone. With the depth chart looking thin and more departures possible, his arrival couldn’t have come at a better time. If the season started today, Williams and Matthew Bailey would likely anchor the secondary. What do you think—will this transfer class be enough to steady the Illini defense? #Sports #Football #IllinoisFootball
