What the Illini are doing on the defensive line is extremely impressive. They are building so much talent when it comes to the front four. Defensive line coach Austin Clark and tight ends coach Cory Patterson are wizards when it comes to recruiting these talented players. One of the next big targets is Joe Moore III.
Moore is a 6-foot-2.5, 239-pound strong-side defensive end from Cardinal Ritter College Prep in St. Louis, Missouri. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 408 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 20 strong-side defensive end in the nation.
