Frederick Douglass DL Jamarrion Harkless Commits to Illinois

One of the fastest rising prospects from the state of Kentucky is concluding his recruitment a little earlier than expected. Sunday night Frederick Douglass defensive lineman Jamarrion Harkless announced his commitment to Illinois. Harkless pulled the trigger while on his official visit to Champaign.

The 6-foot-4 290-pound athlete is a three-star recruit. Harkless is a top 100 defensive tackle prospect according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Harkless blew up on the recruiting scene this spring when the Defending National Champion Georgia Bulldogs extended a scholarship offer.
