When Brandon Peters committed to the Fighting Illini in the spring of 2019, the decision was met with quite a bit of skepticism. The former four-star recruit had fizzled out at Michigan and he obviously wasn’t Lovie Smith’s first choice. The Illini were connected to at least two other Power Five QBs in the transfer portal — Khalil Tate had a relationship with Illinois offensive coordinator Rod Smith during Smith’s time at Arizona and seemed like a natural fit, while USC quarterback Matt Fink had the chance to join former teammates Wole Betiku, Josh Imatorbhebhe & Trevon Sidney in Champaign (there were multiple reports that Fink had actually committed to Illinois before electing to stay with the Trojans).
Where could Brandon Peters rank among All-Time Illini QBs?
