2022 TE Naivyan Cargill commits to Illinois

Bret Bielema and the Illinois Fighting Illini are continuing their push for late additions to the 2022 class. Illinois landed another commitment Sunday morning, this one from Naivyan Cargill, a tight end from Riviera Beach, Florida.

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound Cargill was offered a scholarship last week. As a senior, he racked up 35 catches for 506 yards and three touchdowns for Palm Beach Gardens (Fla.) HS. Cargill was also a defensive force at linebacker and edge rusher, totaling 55 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions.

Cargill is the third tight end commitment in the 2022 class, along with Henry Boyer and Owen Anderson.
