Illinois just landed one of the most fascinating transfers in college football: William Holmes, a former pro baseball pitcher who only started playing organized football last year, is now joining the Illini as an edge rusher. At 25, Holmes brings serious size, speed, and a unique mindset from his baseball days. He went from walk-on to impact starter at Utah State in just one season—imagine what he could do with top-tier coaching in Champaign. With the Illini needing help on the edge, Holmes could be a game-changer. What do you think—will his late start be an advantage or a challenge? #Sports #Football #Illini
