Five-star kicker Caleb Griffin committed to Illinois on Friday night.
A native of Danville, Illinois, Griffin announced his commitment by wearing school-specific socks at Danville’s basketball game versus Peoria Manuel.
Griffin’s final eight schools were Illinois, Illinois State, Iowa, Ball State, Bowling Green, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State and Michigan.
Kohl’s Football Kicking and Punting Camps ranks Griffin as the 2018 class’ 12th-best kicker.
Griffin is the 20th commitment of Illinois’ 2018 class, according to 247. Eighteen commits signed during the early signing period in December. Quarterback Coran Taylor is the only signee who still has not signed with the program.
