Payton Pierce and a Retooled Linebacker Room Take the Lead Under Matt Patricia

When Ohio State lost linebackers Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese to the NFL draft, it didn’t just lose two starters. It lost the identity of a linebacker corps that had anchored Matt Patricia‘s first season as defensive coordinator. Replacing that group has fallen to a room built around a different kind of player: Payton Pierce, […] The post Payton Pierce and a Retooled Linebacker Room Take the Lead Under Matt Patricia appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Illini Find True WR1 in Collin Dixon, but Defense is Missing in Action

In the preseason, Illinois quarterback Katin Houser said that he once received a Joe Burrow comparison. He’ll need to be that level if the Fighting Illini are to have a winning season in 2026.

However, at […] The post Illini Find True WR1 in Collin Dixon, but Defense is Missing in Action appeared first on The Sports Bank .
