Illinois cornerback Terrance Brooks arrived as a high-profile transfer from Texas. He did not play in last Saturday's win against Kansas
Last year Terrance Brooks was playing cornerback in the College Football Playoff for the Texas Longhorns.
"I know T Brooks didn't get in but T Brooks probably had his best week of practice to hopefully be there," Illini coach Bret Bielema said. Brooks only played a few snaps in the opener against Eastern Illinois before last week's DNP. The Illini have went with Kaleb Patterson and Torrie Cox, who both arrived with less fanfare. Patterson was lightly recruited out of high school while Cox transferred from Ohio.
