I'll happily take that Byron kid, I wanted him as sophomore.
Great pickup. Worst case scenario, he is a special teams superstar.
These are the types of kids that Iowa, Wisconsin etc have been getting and killing us with for 30 years. And now we get him. I love it.
Quite literally, his dad went to Iowa and then the NFL.
Exactly, worst case scenario he is a special teams demon for us which has a ton of value. He’s a tough !!! kid that will work hard every day. Considine, Tommy Thies and Logan Abrams were the under the radar instate kids I liked for 2026.
Glad to see him at Illinois. He's from our conference so I watched him every week.

priority target:
Oregon and IU had been sniffing around and both offered last week.
Hope Bret can close the deal, and keep Soren home!

OMG! My husband just read this to me, and we were both like WOW! We’ve watched this stud player from our area where he’s been the star for four years get better and better. He’s truly a hard worker with excellent genes. Him coming to Illinois instead of Iowa is SO shocking! The Considine family is royalty in Byron. We thought it was a given that he’d end up a Hawkeye like his dad…

I hope he does well in the orange and blue. I hear he has 3 younger brothers. Bret loves siblings.
