08/18/21 - OT Julian Pearl, rSr/2024, Illinois

Alex Palczewski's knee injury at the end of the 2020 season opened the door for Julian Pearl. The Danville native received invaluable experience filling in for three games as the starting right tackle on the Illinois offensive line. Pearl had played in three games as a redshirt freshman in 2019 and four others before Palczewski's injury in 2020, but the chance to get consistent reps - against top Big Ten competition - made a world of difference for the 21-year-old's college development. "At the quarterback position and the (offensive) line, I think snaps are everything," Illinois offensive coordinator Tony Petersen said Tuesday afternoon. "For Julian to get some snaps, like he did, was awesome. He's out there getting better every day like the rest of the offensive line. The more scrimmage, 11-on-11 snaps, they can get, the better they're getting every day."

The difference for Pearl in getting his first break as a starting Big Ten offensive lineman was more about building confidence. Thrust into having to perform, the 6-foot-6, 310-pound lineman thrived. "It made a huge difference in me being able to execute blocks against guys that normally I wouldn't be going against," Pearl said Tuesday. "Usually, I'd be second string in practice going against the same guys. Once you go against other Big Ten players and execute blocks correctly, it's a great confidence boost. It allows you to really see yourself visualizing success, and I think that's really helped me." - News Gazette Tribune
