New coach hits ground running

FRANKFORT – It’s tough to miss Tim Beckman.

The new Illinois football coach stands 10 feet from the football field entrance of Lincoln-Way East High School, the first of his seven satellite camps this week for high school players. He offers hard-squeeze handshakes, high-volume welcomes and hearty laughs as about 80 teenage campers arrive for a three-hour session in shorts, T-shirts and cleats.

It’s not yet 8:30 a.m.
