Fighting Illini football is expected to name Donnie Abraham to their coaching staff on Tuesday, and it seems they’re already putting his IMG Academy connections to good use. Four-star defensive back and top Illinois recruiting target Houston Griffith (IL/FL) has announced that he’ll be taking an unofficial visit to Champaign this weekend. The former Mount Carmel (Chicago) star transferred to the Florida prep school in July.
Per 247Sports, Griffith is currently rated as the No. 48 overall player and No. 7 cornerback in the class-of-2018. He holds additional scholarship from just about every Power 5 program, including Michigan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Penn State, Tennessee, UCLA, and Wisconsin.
