Western Michigan is off to a hot start on the recruiting trail, however it seems that they are targeting one state in particular. That is Illinois. Five of the Bronco's six current commitments hail from the Land of Lincoln. One program that has always had great success in finding hidden gems within Illinois is Northern Illinois, however it looks like Western Michigan is taking a page out of NIU's book and recruiting the state early and often this recruiting cycle.
The most recent commit is running back Prince Walker who currently attends Montini Catholic in Lombard, Illinois.

The 5-foot-10 180 pound running back chose the Broncos over reported offers from Bowling Green, Buffalo, Northern Illinois, and Illinois State.
