## Resource

Illini Inquirer's Jeremy Werner and Joey Wagner preview the 2026 Illinois football defensive line and linebackers. The guys discuss the challenge and concern of replacing most of the defensive front from last season and how the scheme can help the personnel. The guys also discuss the roles of returners like Joe Barna, Pat Farrell, James Kreutz and Ismael Kante; the impact of transfers like Darrell Prater, Will Holmes, Carter Janki and Ean Rhea; and potential underclassmen who could make an impact, including Grant Beerman.
