Scores in opener Elzy reeled in 2 of 3 targets for 51 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 45-0 win versus Eastern Illinois. Impact Elzy connected with quarterback Luke Altmyer on a 34-yard strike with under two minutes remaining in the first half to stretch out the lead for the Fighting Illini. The sophomore receiver had a tough time making an impact as a freshman in 2023, totaling just 52 yards and a single touchdown on the season. Despite just three targets during the game, Thursday's explosive performance indicates that Elzy will likely see an elevated role within the Illinois offense in 2024, with his next opportunity to shine coming on Saturday against Kansas.
