could be a monster
From now on, I am going to assume Illinois University is shorthand for: Illinois, THE STATE UNIVERSITY!C/O 2026 4️ Position DL/DE/LB/RB 6’2 250 : cue the Illinois University jokes...not gonna hold it against a 17 yo who's not from the midwest
He's 12th in the nation at his position. He could call it Illinois College and I'm not complaining.

this could be an epic class, relatively speaking. freakin' dumbfounded at how well we're doing. masterclass in bootstrapping. ABI looks like it's gonna be a vestige. we've morphed into a legit destination program, where our top guys make The League. the retention speaks volumes about what our players think about the program.
Coach B has assembled a killer staff. love it and love hearing these coaches weigh in on their guys

Balanganayi is competing with Tilson for my guy. He's been a long-term target, has a bunch of really good offers. Could be a dynamic guard or three technique. These are the guys that are impossible to get from the transfer portal. Get as many of them as preps as possible.

Werner moved Hankins' status from cold to warm: https://247sports.com/college/illinois/season/2026-football/targets/

yes, please!
The level of the recruits that are visiting is incredible! I know it’s been said, but it can’t be said enough, that BB and staff have taken recruiting to the next level and it doesn’t seem like a flash in the pan. These are legit P4 prospects with tons of offers, and many are making multiple visits. Maybe not the top end height of Zook’s best classes, but across the board better imo. Recruiting like this genuinely seems sustainable as long as on field success continues, which will happen in a big way for 2025!
Love Tilson but my guy is Hankins so maybe we can get both
