Overshadowed because the fumble immediately followed, but this 61-yard game from Luke Altmyer to Collin Dixon is too electric to not share.
And he ALMOST housed it, just barely got tripped up by the last defender running chase.
Putting together a depth chart and landed on a fun fact. Ready for a fun fact? Here's a fun fact.
Collin Dixon turns 21 on the day of the Wisconsin game. And then every player in the starting lineup will be 21 or older.
Barry Lunney Jr.: (Collin Dixon) is cut from the same cloth as Pat Bryant in the way he works and the way he blocks. ... Big things are headed for him. #Illini
#illini OC Barry Lunney Jr.: WR Collin Dixon is a super consistent performer. He's cut from the same cloth as Pat a little bit in regards to the way he works and blocks. He's an unselfish player and he's tough. He's everything you stand for and he can run.
ONE PLAYER WE PROB AINT TALKIN ABOUT ENOUGH
COLIN DIXON🤷🏾♂️
THE KID IS BASICALLY A RB AT WR
🤬🔵
SHOULD BE VERY EXCITING TO SEE HE ELZY AND CLEMENT IN THAT 3 WIDE🔥
#ILLINI#ILL#ILLINOIS@IlliniFootball#HTTO
After the departure of two senior star wideouts, #illini WR Collin Dixon is ready for a bigger role after a second-year leap.
"Somebody's got to be the guy, be the next Pat and Zakhari, that guy that we can go to and that Luke trusts, the coaches trust."
