Tupper's Take: A bright future for Illini football - New signee & managing expectations

(WAND) - In today's edition of Tupper's Take, Mark explains that Illinois football is trending the right direction for a successful future.

The team signed their first recruit of the 2027 class, a nationally ranked, 4-star quarterback from Utah.

Entering the 2025 campaign, the team returns 18 starters and a bulk of the coaching staff coming off a historic season.

Expectations are high for the team, but Bret Bielema and company are ready for the challenge.
