Description: Illini Inquirer's Jeremy Werner and Joey Wagner preview the 2026 Illinois football secondary and special teams unit. The guys discuss how Matthew Bailey and Xavier Scott fit in Bobby Hauck's scheme, if cornerback will turn into a strength with newcomers Jakwon Morris and Nick Hankins Jr. joining Juice Clarke and Tanner Heckel and if Mac Resetich is poised for a bounce-back and breakout. The guys then discuss huge changes to the Illini special teams personnel and the battles at kicker, punter and returner.Follow the Illini Inquirer Podcast on:Apple: https://apple.co/3oMt0NPSpotify: https://spoti.fi/2Xan2L8 Other: https://bit.ly/36gn7Ct  Go VIP for 60% OFF: https://tinyurl.com/2fkhmjdz
