Illinois Football: Illini named in Jake Pope’s top 3 teams

In an interview with Corey Bender of 247Sports, offensive tackle Jake Pope named his top three schools. He had Virginia Tech, Michigan State and Illinois as his front-runners right now.

Pope is a 6-foot-7, 275-pound offensive tackle from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 745 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 90 player in the state of Florida.

There is still a way to go before the early signing period, so I imagine Pope will pick up quite a few more offers from programs around the country.
