It looks like the Illinois football team found a diamond in the rough with one of their commitments for 2022.

The Illini have five commitments on the board for the 2022 class, and all of the pledges are on the offensive side of the ball. Hank Beatty is the lone wide receiver committed to Illinois. Three of the other four commitments are on the offensive line.
