Illinois added quarterback Matt Fink to the mix as a graduate transfer. He is coming from USC where he was a backup for most of his career. This was a big addition to give the coaching staff more flexibility with quarterback depth. The Illini were also announced as one of the top teams for Miquan Grace as well.
Grace is a 5-foot-11, 190-pound cornerback from Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 1603 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 133 cornerback in the nation.
