Illinois landed its second top-100 commitment in the 2019 class when ESPN Junior 300 athlete Isaiah Williams, the No. 29 overall prospect, chose the Fighting Illini on Friday.
Williams joins wide receiver Marquez Beason, who is ranked 74th, as the two ESPN Junior 300 commitments for Illinois.
If Williams and Beason sign with Illinois in December or February, they will be the two highest-ranked signees for Illinois since ESPN began its star rankings in 2009. The next closest would be Terry Hawthorne in that 2009 class, who was No.
