  07/28/22 - WR Kody CaserSr/2023, Illinois

  If there was a position of need - and there were several - the Illinois coaching staff trended toward adding a veteran. That was particularly true at wide receiver. The Illini addressed some of their depth issues at that crucial position in the Class of 2022 by adding five freshman receivers. But they still went out and added Northern Colorado's Jonah Morris and South Dakota's Kody Case in the transfer portal. Morris will be in his seventh season this fall, while Case will be in his sixth. "Maturity, that's probably the obvious answer for both of them," Illinois offensive coordinator Barry Lunney Jr. said about what both Morris and Case provide. "They're both older and guys that have a lot of experience playing football games. It's probably something if you just looked at our roster overall that we were a little bit short on. When we looked to supplement our roster in general and at that position we probably erred toward the side of guys who are a little more mature."

The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Morris, who started his college career at Indiana and also played at Akron, will provide a big target for Illinois in the passing game. Bielema praised his athleticism and catching abilities. The 5-10, 175-pound Case will likely be another option in the slot. "He's got a lot of intangibles that you really can't put a price tag on," Bielema said of Case. "When you watch his film, just a really exciting, dynamic guy to watch. Not only obviously in their conference, they play good football, but he had some crossovers games against Power Fives and really was intrigued with the way he competed in those games and the things I saw." - News Gazette Tribune
