“Coach Todd Drury has extensive experience leading great defenses,” Hendrickson said. “His defenses utilize an aggressive style of play that has created big time production.
“We will play tough, relentless defense here at Western Illinois and I am excited for the direction and leadership Coach Drury brings to our program on that side of the ball,” Hendrickson said.
