As a true freshman Will Nightingale was the starting punter for Illinois using his past soccer skills to put up respectable distances but never quite having the accuracy of the more experienced punters. With the Illinois offense being quite poor that year, Will was used a lot and was seen as a sign of hope for a brighter future. In his second year, going in to week 5 there had been a string of injuries to the Illinois defense. The team was so desperate they held public tryouts calling for students at the university to come down and try to make the team. Because of Will's popularity within 'Block I', the students pushed him to tryout. Nightingale didn't have the best hands for the job, but because of his natural speed and physical ability, he found himself playing slot corner. In his third year, Will started to finally shine at his new position. His intelligence and speed allowed him to be a tackling machine. While still improving his hands, Will found more success in batting the ball and thus only had 1 interceptions on the year. After this break out year, Will was ready to help Illinois become a force in the Big 10. He helped recruit some of his old mates from London and they created the "British Barrier". This year Illinois had the #1 passing defense with Nightingale being the star and team captain. Sadly a poor offense squandered what could have been an impressive year for Illinois football.
