We are just hours away from the early National Signing Day, and the Illinois football team is in line to potentially land a massive recruit.
Bret Bielema has already done a great job on the class of 2026. The Illini sit with the No. 23 class in the country, and this ranking comes after the program has landed the top junior college cornerback and the No. 2 JUCO offensive tackle.
Illinois isn’t done in the JUCO market, though. Bielema has his eyes on another massive JUCO recruit for 2026.
