Illinois hasn’t just focused on one specific area of the field since Lovie Smith has taken over the program. While some areas are clearly stronger than others, recruiting has managed to hit the pockets that are needed. The Illini need to continue bolstering the defensive secondary. That is why I like Alec Dalencour coming up for a visit.
Dalencour is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound defensive back from Jersey Village High School in Houston, Texas. He is ranked as the No. 3670 player in the class of 2021 and the No. 474 player in the state of Texas.
