Illinois Football: Illini add a playmaker with the signing of James Frenchie

Frenchie is a 5-foot-9, 175-pound wide receiver from Trinity Catholic High School and resides in St. Louis, Missouri. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 408 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 68 wide receiver in the nation. He is also the No. 6 player in the state of Missouri.

Illinois is going to have a lot of talent at wide receiver in 2020. We have players like Trevon Sidney, Ricky Smalling and Josh Imatorbhebhe coming back for their final season. But the Illini will need wide receiver help entering the 2021 campaign.
