CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- The Illinois coaching staff can really be grateful that the service academy lifestyle wasn’t as appealing to Fabrizio Pinton as he once thought it would be.
The former prep school graduate from Texas, who earned acceptance to the Air Force Academy but lasted only one semester before entering the transfer portal, scored all nine of the Illini’s points on Saturday night in the 9-6 win over Iowa on a trio of field goals (27, 37, 36) after learning right before kickoff he’d be the starting placekicker.

We said here at IlliniGuys that more potential football recruits would be added. Michael Biesboer is next in line to visit Memorial Stadium.
Biesboer is an offensive lineman for Marian Catholic School in Chicago. He's a 2024 prep and stands 6-foot-3 and 280 pounds. His size, techniques and versatility make him a valuable recruit because he is able to play multiple positions.
We caught up with Biesboer before he arrived in Champaign.

Illinois has taken the Big Ten by storm, and the national media is starting to notice. Head coach Bret Bielema has appeared on Kirk Herbstreit’s Top Performing Coaches lists, several television appearances including “Unfiltered” with David Kaplan, among many others, ahead of Illinois’ nightcap with Iowa Saturday.
Illinois enters the game at 4-1 (1-1 B1G) as part of a six-way for first in the Big Ten West, while Iowa 3-2 (1-1 B1G), who was trounced at home a week ago against Michigan, will look to make it nine-straight against the Illini.
