After a bit of a lull, the Illinois football team had a massive weekend when it comes to recruiting.
The Illini had a ton of recruiting momentum at one time, but that had subsided a lot lately. We needed some big news to come down the pipeline to get back on track and help secure a top 25 recruiting class for the first time in years.
That good news happened over the weekend. On Saturday night, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reported that Illinois has landed Jacob Eberhart.
Eberhart is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound athlete from Kirkwood High School in Missouri.
