It was a Merry Christmas for some programs as Jadon Thompson decided to cut down his list to just six teams vying for his commitment. Those six teams ended up being Purdue, Minnesota, Michigan State, Michigan, Missouri and Illinois. This is another big list for the Illini to make.
Thompson is a 6-foot-2, 160-pound wide receiver from Marist High School in Chicago, Illinois. He is rated as a four-star recruit who is the No. 272 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 55 wide receiver in the nation. He is also the No. 4 player in the state of Illinois as well.
