NORMAL — Illinois State football finished off its 2021 recruiting class with the addition of four defensive players on Wednesday.

“Defensive linemen and linebackers were the guys we were looking for,” said ISU coach Brock Spack, who signed 18 to national letters of intent in December along with two to walk-on agreements.

On the first day of the second signing period Wednesday, the Redbirds signed defensive ends Noah Hickcox of Rockford and Kylan Stevens of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
