CHAMPAIGN - Illinois has lost one of its young linebackers for the rest of the season. Sophomore linebacker Henry Dickinson (University HS, Memphis, Tenn.) broke his leg in practice and will not play this year, head coach Tim Beckman confirmed Monday.
Dickinson was not expected to start, but he would have added depth to Illinois' defense. As a freshman last year, Dickinson played in 11 games mostly on special teams. He recorded eight tackles, including a season-best three against South Dakota State.
