  08/07/21 - RB Chase BrownSr/2023, Illinois

  Chase Brown's physical gains are going to require those in charge of maintaining the Illinois football roster to stay on their toes. The 5-foot-11 running back was listed at 195 pounds for his second season with the Illini after transferring from Western Michigan in 2019. Entering Year 3 - the first under coach Bret Bielema and his staff - Brown's online biography shows him checking in at 200 pounds. About that. "I'm running around at 210 right now," Brown said Wednesday outside Memorial Stadium following the third day of training camp. "My strength's through the roof." Brown led the Illini with 540 rushing yards on 104 carries and scored three touchdowns last season. He showed the ability to escape defenders both vertically and horizontally across the field.

It helped him land a spot on the preseason watch list for the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nation's best running back. None of that left Brown satisfied. Evident by the offseason commitment to bettering his body. "I remember I sat down with Coach B, and one of the first things (he said), he's like, 'You know what? You're going to stay around 205, 210," Brown said. "That's all he needed to say to me. That kind of motivated me to transform my body." - News Gazette Tribune
