Verdis Brown flipped back to defensive line ahead of the season after spending 2020 and 2019 on the offensive line. Brown as a guard, of course, came after he arrived at Illinois as ... a defensive lineman. Brown played in eight games last fall, filling a backup role behind Roderick Perry II and Calvin Avery at what was generally one defensive tackle spot in coordinator Ryan Walters' defense. The Chicago native finished his first full season on the defensive line with four tackles in his limited playing time.There's a Perry-sized hole to fill in the Illinois defensive line. Perry didn't have outlandish counting stats (26 tackles, including two for loss, in 11 games), but that's not the primary purpose for a nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme. Disruptio n was Perry's strength, and he had the ability to cause havoc. That's what Brown has to show he's capable of doing, too, to secure more substantial playing time in his fourth season. - News Gazette Tribune

Verdis Brown's first three seasons at Illinois have been spent on the offensive line. But the 6-foot-4, 330-pound Chicago native, who started eight games at right guard in 2020, found himself among defensive linemen on Monday. "Got great short-area quick ness. Very powerful. I know out of high school they said he was kind of recruited both ways," Illini coach Bret Bielema said. "I just went to him about two weeks before summer camp was done. I said, 'This is kind of what I'm thinking. What do you think?' ... He quickly gravitated toward it. I thought (Monday) actually went pretty good. I know that the D-line room took him in with open arms, and I know (defensive line coach Terrance Jamison) was excited to get him." - News Gazette Tribune
