DETAILS: #Illini football will once again highlight it's St. Louis-area talent at this year's Illini Night at Busch Stadium.
Carson Boyd will throw out a ceremonial first pitch. Brandon Henderson, Jacob Eberhart and Nick Hankins will also be in attendance.
#illini freshman Carson Boyd is embracing a year of learning behind Luke Altmyer and Ethan Hampton while waiting for his opportunity.
"It's going to be real beneficial for me having a year or two to sit back and wait and watch."

More of a developmental practice today for #Illini football, offering added reps for freshmen like Carson Boyd and Grant Beerman to showcase their abilities.
"Making sure I take advantage of these opportunities is real fun." - @CartdogBoyd
"It's exciting for all of us young guys." - @GrantBeerman
Cardinal Ritter’s put a ton of responsibility on freshman Rhylan Moore @presidentrylo and he’s responded with a highly productive season through eight weeks. He made numerous big plays against De Smet in a 66-47 victory. @RitterPrep
Carson Boyd is trying to soak up as much as he can his freshman year — especially from Luke Altmyer — to prepare for the #illini's potential QB competition next year.
"I just want to learn as much as I can so when it's my time, I can be effective."
