CHAMPAIGN — Illinois' offseason transfers opened up new recruiting avenues for Chris Tamas. Namely, the second-year Illini coach got a little more scholarship flexibility with his future classes.
Tamas added a fifth prospect in Illinois' 2019 recruiting class with a commitment from Zion-Benton's Kennedy Collins. The 6-foot-3 outside hitter/middle blocker announced her commitment Monday on Twitter.
"I’m excited to announce that I have verbally committed to continue my athletic and academic career at the University of Illinois," Collins posted. "A HUGE Thank You to my parents, coaches, family, teammates and friends for your support!"
Collins was a Lake County News-Sun All-Area selection last fall as a junior.
