Needing a tall target on the outside, Illinois football was able to find their man from the state of Florida.

On Wednesday, Patrick Bryant decided to sign early and officially join the Orange and Blue. He is a much-needed piece to the puzzle on offense.

Bryant is a 6-foot-3, 187-pound wide receiver from Atlantic Coast High School and resides in Jacksonville, Florida.
