Transitions into assistant role
Sitkowski concluded his playing career with Illinois' 19-10 loss to Mississippi State in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Jan. 2 and will transition into a student assistant role for the 2023 season, Joey Wagner of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though he has a sixth year of eligibility at his disposal in 2023, Sitkowski will bypass a potential opportunity to compete for Illinois' vacant starting role and will instead take the first steps toward embarking on a coaching career. Sitkowski began his career at Rutgers in 2018 and started 11 games as a true freshman, but he fell out of favor soon thereafter. He went on to appear in seven games (four starts) over the subsequent two years before moving on to Illinois ahead of the 2021 season. SItkowski mostly served as a backup during his time at Illinois and wraps up his five-year collegiate career with a 54 percent completion rate for 2,838 yards, 14 touchdowns and 23 interceptions over 26 appearances. Ole Miss transfer Luke Altmyer now looks to be the frontrunner to unseat the outgoing Tommy DeVito as Illinois' starting quarterback in 2023.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Despite the return of both Gio Rescigno and Johnathan Lewis from last season's quarterback group, Sitkowski -- an early enrollee -- is likely best positioned for the starting role entering fall camp after a strong showing during the spring. Sitkowski easily possesses the best talent among the trio as a passer, and, although he hasn't been officially named the starter for Week 1, it would be an upset if he wasn't. Sophomore Bo Melton, a highly touted recruit coming out of high school, figures to serve as a reliable option for him at wideout, but Sitkowski and the Scarlet Knights will face some tough defenses in a loaded Big Ten East division.
