If one Lovie isn’t enough, the Illini decided to go after another. On Wednesday, Lovie Jenkins announced on Twitter that he had received a scholarship offer from the University of Illinois. This is an offer to a kid in the Sunshine State, so it has Coach Keynodo Hudson’s fingerprints all over it.
Jenkins is a 6-foot-1, 181-pound cornerback from Ocoee High School in Ocoee, Florida. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No.982 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 78 cornerback in the nation. He is also the No. 124 player in the state of Florida as well.
