Illinois receivers working to replace play makers as fall camp starts

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) -- Illinois football is looking to have another successful season after last years 10 wins and a Citrus Bowl victory.

The Illini enter this season losing two key scorers in wide receivers Pat Bryant and Zakari Franklin.

With having to fill those holes on the offense the receiver group is using camp and an opportunity to find a new leader and voice on the field. They added transfers Justin Bowick and Hudson Clement and return Alex Capka-Jones, Hank Beaty, Malik Elzy and Colin Dixon.

And they know they are the least experienced group in the Big 10 they have the depth and are ready for the challenge and to use what they've learned from Bryant and Franklin this season.
