The most recent recruit that cut his list down is safety Kamren Curl.
Curl cut his list down to five programs late afternoon on Saturday. He is now down to just Texas Tech, Houston, Washington State, Memphis, and Illinois.
According to 247sports, Curl is a 3-star recruit that is ranked as the 1,264th best player in the class of 2017 and the 19th best player in the state of Oklahoma.
This is a big recruit for Lovie Smith and the Illini to snag. It would be the first defensive player this coaching staff has had commit.
