Altmyer was among a long list of quarterbacks suggested as a possible replacement for former Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava.
Last season, Altmyer led Illinois to a 10-3 record which tied the program's single season wins record. He also ranked as one of the most efficient passers in the country in 2024, throwing for 21 scores and just 5 interceptions in the regular season.
In December, Altmyer took to center court of the State Farm Center during the Illini men's basketball matchup against #1 ranked Tennessee. It was there he made his initial commitment to returning to the program for another season.
