Illinois football players Brian Hightower and Verdis Brown are entering the transfer portal. Hightower is a Los Angeles native who started his college career at Miami and transferred to Illinois in 2020 following two seasons with the Hurricanes. He spent three seasons with the Illini. He served as Illinois' second-leading pass catcher during the recently-completed 8-5 season of 2022, hauling in 37 receptions for 452 yards and two touchdowns. Hightower redshirted his 2021 season after playing in four gam es, and his first campaign with the Illini, in the pandemic-affected 2020 season, included him catching 11 passes for 209 yards and three scores.Hightower departs a receivers room that expects to be paced in 2023 by Isaiah Williams, who finished w ith 81 receptions for 709 yards and five touchdowns this season. Illinois also should return Pat Bryant, who posted the team's second-most receiving yards this season at 453 yards, along with Casey Washington, who ranked fourth on the team in receptions (32) and receiving yards (312). - News Gazette Tribune

Brian Hightower saw limited action in his first two football seasons at Miami. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound wide receiver was behind the likes of K.J. Osborn and Jeff Thomas - among several others - on the Hurricanes' depth chart the past two seasons, creatin g few opportunities on the field. Hightower could see those opportunities blossom at Illinois. The Leimert Park, Calif., native committed to the Illini on Tuesday afternoon, announcing his decision via his Twitter account."I've been in the dark bu t I promise you'll see a brighter me," Hightower wrote above a photo of him in an Illinois uniform, along with the word committed in the background. After sitting out the 2020 season save for a possible change to NCAA transfer rules, Hightower will be in place for the 2021 season that will see Illinois lose Josh Imatorbhebhe, Ricky Smalling and Trevon Sidney from its wide receiver corps. Hightower is the third transfer to join the Illini this offseason after New Mexico State receiver Desmond "Drew" Dan Jr. announced he was transferring on April 9 and Wofford offensive lineman Blake Jerestay announced he was doing the same on April 11. - News Gazette Tribune
