Very few others I admire more than TJ - the very embodiment of Fighting Illini spirit. He fought through hell and rose above one of the darkest adversities any young man can face - I can’t imagine the pain. Yet was so proud of the way he handled himself throughout…text book.
Wish I could be there in person to watch that Jersey rising to the rafters…symbolic of his time in Champaign and how he faced the challenges and rose up to become one of the all-time Illini favorites. We salute you, and we thank you, Terrance Shannon, Jr.
