Parting ways with Illini Cumby announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he will transfer from Illinois. Impact The 5-foot-8, 180-pound Cumby dabbled at both running back and receiver during his two years with the Illini, appearing in nine games and carrying two times for 11 yards while adding five receptions for 47 yards. Cumby had been practicing mostly at running back this spring under first-year head coach Bret Bielema, but the rising redshirt sophomore apparently decided he was better off pursuing opportunities elsewhere. He'll have up to four years of eligibility to use at his next school.
