Corey Liuget right at home at Illinois

Liuget thought about transferring to a school in Florida; mom quickly shot down the idea.

"She told me if I would transfer anywhere, I wouldn't be welcome at home at all," he said. "Me being the first male out of my family to actually go to college was pretty exciting for everybody. That played a role in why my mom was like, 'Everybody wants to see you succeed and be the first one to get a college degree.'"
