Cool moment last night at the Indiana spring game.
Drew Shouse was born with a heart defect. He’s undergone 3 open heart surgeries and spent the first 8 months of his life in the ICU.
Yesterday, he scored the final touchdown in the Indiana spring game.

Big Ten sleeper: Illinois
Illinois should have one of the best offensive lines and defensive lines in the Big Ten. There is NFL talent in the trenches. Bret Bielema is a good coach as well so expect this team to perform above expectation and contend for the Big Ten West.

SEC sleeper: Kentucky
The Wildcats are bringing back OC Liam Coen. They are also bringing in some needed offensive line help. Devin Leary might even be an upgrade at QB, and the Cats have a decent 1-2 punch at RB. An improved offense will be accompanied by another solid defense.
