Illinois Football just received its first commitment from a five-star prospect in over a decade. Quarterback/Athlete Isaiah Williams announced his decision to commit to the Fighting Illini on Twitter on Friday.
Williams comes from Trinity Catholic in St. Louis, where he played under current Illinois TE coach Cory Patterson, who played an essential role in the recruitment of Williams. The choice to hire Coach Patterson before a recruiting cycle with some top players from Trinity like Williams and Shammond Cooper on Illinois’ radar was not a coincidence.
Williams is a consensus top-forty prospect — 247: five-star, 28 nationally.
