Katin Houser of the Illinois Fighting Illini has been placed 14th out of 18 starting quarterbacks in the Big Ten by CBS Sports writer Brad Crawford. Despite leading East Carolina with over 3,300 passing yards last season, expectations are tempered as Houser transitions to Illinois. His veteran experience is seen as an asset, allowing him to bring stability to the position, especially ahead of the challenging Big Ten schedule. The Illini will kick off their season against UAB as they aim for improvement in 2026.
