Neal (6 feet 1, 236 pounds), from McKeesport, Pa., racked up 109 tackles this past season, and had 14 tackles for loss. He has said he wanted to leave Illinois because the coaching staff wanted to move him from middle linebacker to the outside.

He is set to graduate from Illinois this spring, then will enroll at Auburn.
