CHAMPAIGN — A week after landing a graduate transfer quarterback, Illinois has picked up a transfer receiver.
Jalen Greene, a 6-foot-2, 200-pounder, announced on his Twitter account on Thursday afternoon that he will join the Illini.
"Committed to the University of Illinois, excited to get around these group of men," Greene wrote. "(Lets) get to work."
Greene enrolled at Southern Cal in spring 2014 with a plan to play quarterback. A dual-threat quarterback at Serra High School in Gardena, Calif., Greene redshirted in 2014.
He moved to receiver in 2015, catching 10 passes for 105 yards and starting three games.
