Former Illinois Fighting Illini tight end Ken Dilger sat down for an interview reflecting on his collegiate career with the program. Dilger, who wore number 87, was a key contributor during his time in Champaign.
A memorable moment from his tenure came on October 15, 1994, when the Fighting Illini dominated the Iowa Hawkeyes with a 47-7 victory at Memorial Stadium. Dilger looked on from the sideline during that decisive Big Ten contest.
The interview, conducted by Isaac Ambrose for SB Nation, offers insights into Dilger's experiences as one of the program's notable tight ends before he moved on to a professional career in the NFL.
