4-star Texas recruit eyeing Illinois football as a top choice

Illinois football is always looking for talent to add to the roster, and we are one step closer to pulling in a big-time recruit.

The 2025 season didn’t go as planned, and I would say the running back situation followed suit. I was expecting more out of the position group, as Kaden Feagin is the leading rusher for the Illini at 486 yards.

Bret Bielema needs to do many things this offseason, and one area to address is the offensive line. Illinois needs blockers up front who can help open holes for our running backs.
