Three-star defensive tackle Ryan O'Malley commits to Illinois Football

Per his Twitter account, Fighting Illini football has picked up a commitment from three-star defensive tackle Ryan O'Malley (Libertyville, IL). Illinois was the first school to offer the six-foot-four, 250-pound prospect, but he was also receiving interest from Minnesota.

O'Malley is the second member of Illinois' 2017 recruiting class, joining three-star running back Mike Epstein (Fort Lauderdale, FL).
