Hank Beatty - Career day in bowl win Beatty tallied four receptions (on six targets) for 90 yards during Tuesday's 21-17 victory against South Carolina.
Impact Beatty's 90 yards were the most he's reeled in in a single game to this point in his career. The wideout was moderately involved this season to the tune of 20 catches for 294 yards and one touchdown. He'll look to become a staple of the Illini' receiver room in his senior season.

Zakhari Franklin - Scores vs. Gamecocks Franklin gathered in 4 of 7 targets for 39 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 21-17 victory versus South Carolina.
Impact Franklin scored his fourth touchdown of the season against South Carolina en route to Illinois' 10-win season. The wideout had an excellent bounce-back campaign after a down year with Ole Miss in 2023, reeling in 55 catches for 652 yards along with the four touchdowns this year. He'll have one season of eligibility remaining should he choose to use it.

Luke Altmyer - Up-and-down day vs. Gamecocks Altmyer completed 13 of 22 passes for 174 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Tuesday's 21-17 victory versus South Carolina.
Impact Altmyer's touchdown pass was an impressive run, a dime of a throw on the run after he evaded pressure. Still, the quarterback had better days during the course of Illinois' 10-win season. Altmyer had a career year as a junior, and should have the starting spot on lock in Champaign for 2025.
