68 days to Camp Rantoul
No. 38: Hubie Graham, tight end.
Why he's important: Michael Hoomanawanui's backup figures to get plenty of playing time in Mike Schultz's offense, especially as the offense moves closer to the end zone. Graham played in every game as a freshman, catching two passes for 25 yards. Those totals figure to go up as the Pennsylvanian adjusts to playing the position in college. He's got good hands and is a talented athlete, like Hoomanawanui.
Getting personal: He doesn't have to call Pennsylvania to reach his dad, also Hubie. Graham's father moved to the Chicago area after the tight end picked the Illini. Big Hubie often attends Illinois practices. Graham, a four-star recruit according to Rivals.com, picked Illinois over UCLA, Iowa and Pitt.
