"I chose to attend Eastern IL University because I had the opportunity to continue my football career there, which was a major factor in my decision. Another reason EIU stood out to me was that my brother was transferring there before I made my final decision, so knowing I would have family with me during my first year of college made the transition much easier. Starting college during COVID was a challenging and uncertain time, so being able to attend the same school as my brother gave me a strong support system and made EIU feel like the right place for me both academically and personally."Tyler ClarkExercise Physiology | Class of 2027
