Matthew Bailey is sticking with the Illini for his senior year, and that’s a big deal for Illinois football fans. After leading the team in tackles and battling through a tough shoulder injury, Bailey chose to come back instead of heading to the NFL. He says it’s about giving back to the program that believed in him and stepping up as a leader with so many veterans leaving. His decision brings stability to a defense facing big changes. What do you think—will Bailey’s leadership help the Illini make a leap next season? #Sports #Football #Illini
