  Illinois football's top tight end in 2020 will be back with the program in 2021. Daniel Barker announced via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon that he won't leave the team early, with the junior set to return as the Illini's leading pass-catcher from the season prior. Barker has played in 21 games during his Illinois tenure, racking up 46 catches for 625 yards and seven scores. He'll be under the direction of a new tight ends coach in his senior year, as Cory Patterson has shifted from that role to running backs coach under new Illini coach Bret Bielema. - News Gazette Tribune
