MT. ZION, Ill. (WAND) - Former Braves and current Fighting Illini Brayden Trimble and Jacob Harvey were back home to help Coach Patrick Etherton with around 200 kids from kindergarten to eighth grade out on the football field.
During the camp, they learned all the basics from the Mt Zion football team, but also got a chance to get some autographs from the two players who will now represent the Big Ten out in Champaign.
And while Brayden and Jacob are hard at work getting ready for the upcoming football season, they said they will never pass up a chance to come home and see the future of Mt. Zion football and give back to the community that helped them get to where they are now.
