CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) -- Illinois football held its team media day ahead of kickoff, which is just three weeks away.
One local kid hoping to make an impact this season is Mt Zion native Brayden Trimble.
Trimble played in a couple of games last season before suffering an injury, now in his second year with the Illini, the receiver is impressing not only teammates but coaches this fall camp, even earning offensive MVP a few practices ago.
Trimble said that entering this year, he is taking what he learned from another central Illinois kid who turned into a big playmaker for the Illini last year Hank Beatty.
