Illinois needs wide receiver help right now. Shoot, they needed wide receiver help the last half-decade or so. A combination of injuries, bad quarterback play and the inability to come down with a big catch has hurt this team in recent years. The Illini are now going after Ja’Vontae Williams, a player who could help with this issue.
Williams is a 6-foot, 196-pound wide receiver from Glades Central High School in Belle Glade, Florida. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 759 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 134 wide receiver in the nation.
