This Illini staff gave me an opportunity to play B1G Football and I will forever be thankful for that. #ProudIllini

Cubit challenged me and believed in me when most didn't. Learned more about myself than I did the game of football from him #ProudIllini

Coach Cubit calls me everyday to see how my recovery is going. Can't thank the entire staff enough for all they've done for me. #ProudIllini
