The Illinois football program continues its 2021 recruiting surge, offering junior college standout Isaiah Iton out of Hutchinson Community College in Kansas.
Iton has not enjoyed a smooth ride to the next level. In fact, he has created his own path to eventually begin his college football career at a DI level.
Originally a 2019 graduate of Pearland High School in Pearland, Texas, Iton committed to Northern Colorado as a defensive end and looked to become a valuable piece of the defense.
