  After once being the first verbal commitment to Illinois football head coach Lovie Smith, Ricky Smalling will not return for his senior season, team spokesperson Kent Brown confirmed. Loren Tate first reported the news on WDWS last week and Scott Richey of The Champaign News-Gazette reported it on Saturday morning. Also, senior running back Ra'Von Bonner and redshirt senior offensive lineman Jake Cerny are not part of the team this fall due to personal reasons, that news was first reported by The News-Gazette.

Smalling committed in 2016 as a three-star recruit from Chicago Brother Rice High School and led the Illini in receiving as a true freshman in 2017 (501 yards) and was the fourth true freshman in program history to lead the team in receiving yards. His 31 receptions that year were tied for a team lead with Malik Turner. As a sophomore in 2018, Smalling started and played in 11 games and led the team in receptions (33), receiving yards (406) and receiving touchdowns (5). He started the first seven games last year and had 24 receptions for 225 yards with one touchdown before suffering a season-ending injury. - Herald-Review Times
