Illinois Football: Illini bolster offensive line with Marcus Harper commitment
The first commitment of the day for the Illinois football team was a big-time in-state recruit.
Marcus Harper took to Twitter to announce that he has officially committed to play football for the University of Illinois. Offense has been a huge focus for the Illini and getting someone like Harper will help solidify the effectiveness of the offense for the foreseeable future.
Harper is a 6-foot-4, 290-pound offensive guard from Simeon High School in Chicago, Illinois. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 596 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 31 guard in the nation. He is also the No. 7 player in the state of Illinois as well.
