Verdis says he decided @IlliniFootball over Missouri early this morning.

"I asked God to give me a sign and this one song kept playing over and over again in my head. Diddy's song, 'Coming Home' so I figured that must be my sign."

Brown: "The reason why I chose Illinois. I had options to go to schools already built. I wanted my state to have a chance to compete for bowl games and championships.. And to come back to my city and give back to you guys"
