The world lost an incredible young man yesterday. It is with very heavy hearts that we share that Connor Christian, 2021 Alum, has passed away. CC was an absolutely exceptional person, and although his time was cut short, he has left a lasting legacy on so many people.

Signs from above today! One of Connor Christian’s lifelong best friends, Ryan Moerman, hit the 2nd HR of his NCAA career today. He just so happened to hit the HR right to Connor’s dad Gary, who was there for the Illini game in Myrtle Beach. Here’s to number TWO!
