Illinois Football: 3 NFL teams who need Oluwole Betiku Jr. the most

But there is one player who I could see being a starter for five or more years in the NFL. That one player is Oluwole Betiku Jr.

Betiku was a five-star recruit coming out of high school, and USC was able to snag the talented lineman. After an unsuccessful stint with the Trojans, he decided to find a new home with two years of eligibility remaining. Illinois was able to land Betiku, and he thrived in their system.

In the lone season with the Illini, Betiku finished with 36 tackles and 9 sacks.
