No matter the sport, a coach’s work is never done. Coaching staffs are working round-the-clock to find players to augment their respective rosters. So why not talk about some football crootin’ in mid-June?
On Monday, the Illini football program received a verbal commitment from 2020 defensive tackle Quinton McCoy. a 6-foot-2, 260-pounder from Valrico, Florida, who made the announcement via Twitter:
While not being ranked by any major recruiting sites, McCoy was pursued by Power 5 schools Iowa State and Louisville, with offers from FIU, South Florida, Toledo, Southern Miss, Bowling Green and Georgia Southern.
A quick glance at his highlights tells you why Lovie and his staff would want this kid in Champaign.
