2021 First Team Academic All-Big 12
A talented quarterback who spent two seasons backing up Spencer Sanders before transfering to Nevada ... Played eight games and went 3-0 as a starter during his time in Stillwater.
2021 (Redshirt): First team Academic All-Big 12 honoree ... Played in three games to preserve a redshirt year ... Started and won the season opener vs. Missouri State after Spencer Sanders was held out due to COVID-19 protocols ... Finished the game with 315 passing yards and a touchdown while completing 22 of his 40 pass attempts ... Added two touchdowns and 70 passing yards vs. Kansas to bring his season passing total to 385 yards ... Also played one snap in the win over No. 5 Notre Dame in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.
2020 (Freshman): Garnered substantially more playing time than what would have typically been expected of a true freshman quarterback ... Played a very important role in helping the Cowboys to a win over Tulsa in the season opener, which doubled as his first career game ... With OSU trailing the Golden Hurricane, 7-3, late in the third quarter and largely ineffective on offense to that point, Illingworth entered and immediately completed a 29-yard pass to All-American Tylan Wallace. Four plays later, he connected again with Wallace on a 36-yard completion to set up a three-yard touchdown run by Chuba Hubbard that gave the Cowboys a lead they would not surrender ... Illingworth led three OSU drives in that game and all three produced points - Hubbard’s touchdown and two Alex Hale field goals ... For his efforts against Tulsa, he was recognized as Big 12 Newcomer of the Week ... The following week against West Virginia, Illingworth completed 15 of 21 passes for 139 yards to help the Cowboys to a victory in his first career start ... Best statistical performance of the season came against Kansas in week three, when he completed 17 of 23 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns ... Was called back into action when Spencer Sanders was injured in the first quarter of the Bedlam game in Norman and completed five of 21 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.
