Illini football enters spring filled with questions
March 30, 2010 1:04 PM
Q: How far can the defense come?
A: Much of that depends on the status of defensive tackle Josh Brent and linebacker Martez Wilson and the quality of play at cornerback. Brent is attending Parkland College to gain academic eligibility in hopes of returning this summer or fall. Wilson will skip contact this spring after neck surgery last season. Cornerback Terry Hawthorne made immediate impact on defense, but he might be shared with the offense. Redshirt freshman Joelil Thrash could surprise at cornerback.
