Western Illinois quarterback Kennedy McGill has the Leathernecks positioned for a historic run at the program's first Ohio Valley Conference championship. The senior signal-caller has guided the team through a competitive season, with the Leathernecks now in contention for the OVC title.
The push for a conference crown comes after a challenging non-conference schedule that included a September 12 matchup at Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium, where McGill showcased his mobility against the Badgers. Western Illinois enters the final stretch of the regular season with a chance to make program history.
If the Leathernecks capture the OVC title, it would mark the first conference championship in the school's football history. McGill's leadership and playmaking ability have been central to the team's success this fall.
