Countdown to kickoff Day 34: Ryan Meed
A former walk-on, Meed became a big part of the 2024
#Illini defense as a senior team captain.
At his Illinois Pro Day, Meed ran a 4.51 40-yard dash and put up 25 reps on the bench press, eventually leading him to sign with the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He stepped away from pro football earlier this year.
