ESPN Play-by-Play: EIU at Alabama

“Moving the Chains” with Prairie State Pigskin
In this feature from Prairie State Pigskin, Dillon opens up about what brought him to Eastern Illinois — the same campus where his father, Duane Conway, walked on, earned a scholarship, and played his way to a free-agent deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Dillon lost his dad at age eight, and choosing EIU became a way to feel, in his words, “a little closer” to him.
The conversation covers his back-to-back state titles at Mount Carmel, the “surreal” season finale at Alabama, where he posted a season-high six tackles, his plans to become a financial manager for athletes after football, and the mother whose example he says he wants to follow as a parent someday.
