John Illory rejoins the show and recounts his glory days on the field. After a great high school career playing basketball and football, John signed a letter of intent to play D2 football at Fairmont State University through a last-minute recruiting break involving Jimbo Fisher’s brother. Upon arrival at Fairmont, John ended up being redshirted his freshman year. Although this frustrated the young linebacker, he shares how it humbled him and taught patience, preparation, and other lessons he applies to this day in trucking and career growth. In this engaging conversation, he also shares his views on NIL, an interesting connection to NFL legend Chris Johnson, and his clothing line dubbed BBM (“Bigger Better Move”).
