Building out the linebacker corps is extremely important to this Illini coaching staff. The history Lovie Smith has with linebackers is legendary. Greats like Brian Urlacher have been coached by Lovie. But he now needs to continue recruiting talented players who can come in and provide depth for Illinois. Jonovan Foreman could be a good option.
Foreman is a 6-foot, 210-pound linebacker from Heights High School in Houston, Texas. He is ranked as the No. 4092 player in the nation and the No. 511 player in the state of Texas. But the big recruiting sites haven’t caught onto him yet, so it is hard to gauge what they think about this kid.
