Illinois has been on an offer spree lately. They are pinpointing what type of players they want for the future of the program and are going after those recruits. Developing a strong base now will only help build those relationships and bring commitments down the road. That is what I am hoping with Gabriel Rubio.
Rubio is a 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive tackle from Lutheran High School in Saint Peters, Missouri. He isn’t rated or ranked right now because 247Sports hasn’t put together all of their rankings for 2021, but he looks to be a target for a variety of big programs.
