One of the bigger focuses for the Illini in the class of 2020 is the defensive line. Building up the hogs in the middle is important to stop the run and to put pressure on the quarterback. Getting more depth at this position is key as well. That is why offering Akheem Mesidor is a great idea.
Mesidor is a 6-foot-3, 255-pound strong-side defensive end from Clearwater Academy International in Clearwater, Florida. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 624 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 29 strong-side defensive end in the nation.
