Each week, Western Illinois football players gather for food, conversations and to build connections. These “family dinners” have built friendships and a team fighting for each other on the field, players said. prairiestatepigskin.com/2026…

WATCH: Got to check out @WIUFootball for the first time this year at day two of camp! I've got a couple of storylines to share including the Leathernecks' big play ability on offense, their size in the trenches, and how they've spent the offseason trying to "find 19."
