The Fighting Illini now heads into the postseason having won its last three games of the regular season. A win during bowl season will push Illinois to the 10-win threshold for the first time since 2001 and the fifth time in program history.

However, as Illinois looks to go bowling later this month, Sledge will be looking to find his new college football home as he waits for the portal to officially open.

The portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers. That means roughly 25 percent of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year, per On3’s Pete Nakos.
