Quinton McCoy signs with Illinois

Lots of talent in the trenches on signing day.

Quinton McCoy adds to a big boy class for Illinois, as the Bloomingdale (Florida) High product inked with the Illini in the Early Signing Period.

The 6-foot-2, 260-pound defensive lineman needs some time in the weight room before making an impact, but the toughness and pass rush ability are there for McCoy to produce in a year or two.

Pop him in at the three technique tackle spot in a couple of years, and he could fit like Jamal Milan, disruptive and impossible to block.
