Illinois’ secondary is an area that I worry about moving forward. We could be kind of thin in the defensive backfield this upcoming season, but the proceeding years are what concern me the most. That is why snagging someone like Isaac Thompson would be good for the program.
Thompson is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound cornerback from St. Louis University High School and resides in St. Louis, Missouri. He isn’t rated or ranked yet because he is from the class of 2022. 247Sports hasn’t released their full rankings just yet. But I believe Thompson would check-in somewhere around No.
