Illinois defensive lineman Anthony Johnson has entered his name into the transfer portal.
Johnson transferred to Champaign from Youngstown State in the first portal cycle. However, per Bret Bielema this weekend, he will be leaving the program in search of another opportunity elsewhere.
“Anthony Johnson actually came in yesterday and he’s moving on so we’re out of the mix with him,” said Bielema on Saturday.
“I could see it the last couple of weeks. There were guys playing, right, that I don’t know if he saw himself getting that starting role,” Bielema said. “I get it. The guy has got one year left. Asked him to kind of thing about it but totally understand where he’s coming from. So he quit, moved on.
