Perrin committed to Illinois in the summer and officially joined the team in December.
He appeared in one game — Jan. 19 vs. Indiana. Perrin only played two minutes.
While Illinois didn’t say what’s behind the move, it’s disappointing after Perrin was so highly touted over the summer.
The Illini have seven regular season games left, including Tuesday in State College.
