The Illinois football team is trying to not only keep the class of 2026 intact, but we are also trying to add a few pieces down the home stretch.
As of right now, the Illini sit with the No. 26 class in the country for 2026. This class includes 25 commitments, with the latest pledge being from offensive lineman Alfred Washington.
Washington is coming from the junior college (JUCO) ranks. He should be an instant help to the Illinois offensive line. Now, Bret Bielema has his eyes set on another massive JUCO offensive lineman.
