Looks like a big boy that can be used for short yardage situations.
Add Smith and Barnett, this is absolutely an A+ class. don't care about the TEs.

Purdue had an impressive looking class too Walters’s first year. It’s important we continue to retain these guys over the next 3/4/5 years, while maintaining success on the field.
Is this where he’ll announce his commitment?
Heard he’s an ELITE recruiter as well …

Walter's recruiting classes were 58 and 29 in the country in his two years. Development is the key. Once you get outside the Top 10 rankings are full of !!!!. Florida St, Auburn and Nebraska have Top 20-25 classes every year but they have been terrible over the years.
This class has got me like....
COMMIT: Three-star Florida RB Javari Barnett flips back to Illini from Alabama on Signing Day
Thad Ward secures a second straight big Signing Day flip for a long-time target

Hope is he'll be RB2 in 2027 along with Valentine.
Hopefully Sutter and Cabell are added to this list and come to the beloved

You put Taylor on one side and Knapnik on the other with Matelau being on the side of Taylor and Henderson, if he improves as the other guard we will have a line that will block and open holes for the backs.
Cabell expected to be headed to Vandy.
Actually, I hope Valentine has a huge 2026, gets drafted in one of the first three rounds, and Barnett becomes RB#1 in 2027...or platoons with Wheeler.
Can't believe we are seeing all of this. Winning will bring them in!!! BB is setting us up for continued success! Illinois Football = Continued Success! Who would have ever believed it?
