How is Clement doing? I was excited to get him in the portal, but I don’t seem to be hearing a lot about him.
He’s fine. Was banged up in the spring. Full go now. Versatile can playing inside and on the perimeter.
Bielema mentioned "we've moved Hudson Clement outside and he's looked really really good."
For more context…it was for Elzy with his hammy.
The top 3 is Dixon, Elzy, Beatty, no?
They've been keeping Bowick hype under lock and key! His film when healthy last year was tantalizing. 6'5 and built like a grown man, he's a nightmare RedZone mismatch !
Bret/Stepp/Lunney have all talked about him a bit
That is some sheer size for a WR lineup.
See Clement starting or giving us stater type impact. Proven WR at high Div 1 level, veyeran experience.
How illiniinquirer said it on their pod was:
X - Elzy/Bowick
Z - Dixon/Clement
Slot - Beatty/Clement
X - Elzy/Bowick
Z - Dixon/Clement
Slot - Beatty/Clement
That could be too. Dixon can play inside or out. Dixon and Beatty are definitely the favorites of the coaches.
Big10 training camp segment pretty poor. Dave was great. Denardo and Howard, tools. Clement has 1300 yards and 75 catches in 2 years. Coaches don't hype their beast for a reason. Plenty on this roster. Hope for health all season. Good depth everywhere, but Running back room. We gonna miss McCray!
It was against Southern Illinois, who was Division 1-AA at the time.
I was there for that and while Howard was a solid college back and a good fullback in the NFL.....they force fed that record to him. Red Grange had 6 TDs versus Michigan, which most agree is still the bar.
SIU started the game off up 21-7, which 7 of those came on a Griffith fumble for a TD. After that, it was the predicted utter destruction.
We ended up winning that game 56-21. It was one of those cool moments to say you saw it live, but at the same time, it was manufactured by forcefeeding him touches against a team that we should have beaten by 50+ points. We were legitimately good during those years.
Love Howard, but your reaction to it is the reason that I'm not a big fan of the record. It's like a MLB pitcher throwing a perfect game against a High School team, then having it go in the record books.
We you start surpassing names like Jim Brown(43 points in a game) and Red Grange.....that game shouldn't be part of those conversations.
I’ll believe it when I see it… but would not bet a world where Clement isn’t one of your starters/top 3. More times than not (other than Terrance Brooks), the proven high quality production eventually shows up, especially in such a young/unproven group.
personally would've predicted the exact same, maybe just flip Clement and Bowick.

Bryant was no superstar before last year.
We should beat Duke; I just don't know if we will. Would hate to see a clunker so early in the season.Welcome to the Illinois Football 2025 thread

I didn't remember Laughery had that kind of speed. Yards after contact? I don't know.
Agree. Impressive intellect.
