This guy must feel like he won the lottery. To go from being a D2 player with not much scholarship money to Illinois where even without NIL, he should have his college paid for since there’s no longer walkon distinctions
I don’t think losing the walk on distinction means players definitely get scholarships. The team now has a defined amount of roster spots with no scholarship limits, but isn’t required to provide scholarships to all athletes in those spots.

per Robert Rosenthal :
For some schools, that means a switch from full scholarships to partial scholarships somewhere between 85 and 105, but at most of the P4, it's now giving out 105 full rides plus revshare. Which means that players #86 to #105 switched (this time last year) from walk-ons to scholarship players.

Robert knows this stuff pretty well

I just assumed he was headed to a G5 school. This kid is a good player, I'm shocked he was only headed to a D2 school. This is a nice add. He may never play a down, but never know what he can turn into once he is only focusing on football in college. Maybe end up at another position as well.
I’m never against taking a chance or two in a football class. Big, athletic QBs often end up at a different position and succeed because of how they understand the game. Add the local connection and the fact this kid is a winner, and it adds up to a low risk/high reward type of recruit.

while we have a legit chance , aren’t we going against the grain with this lad due to his folks both being Iowa people ?
Just keep this relationship solid. Iowa doesn't seem to lose many transfers, but you never know what 3 years down the road look like.
