Big news for Peoria-area football fans: Kellen Francis, the towering 6'6" lineman from Princeville, is officially entering the transfer portal after a short stint with the Illini. After redshirting last season due to injury and seeing limited action this year, Francis is looking for more playing time elsewhere. With Illinois bringing in more JUCO talent for the offensive line, it’s no shock he’s exploring new opportunities. How do you feel about local talent moving on? Think this is the right move for Francis or should Illinois have given him more of a shot? #Sports #Football #Peoria
