Building relationships with the big-time programs down in the state of Texas has done wonders for the Illini recruiting classes. We have been able to snag some great players from the Lone Star State. Illinois is now targeting DeSoto for the near future.
One of the more recent targets for the Illini came in the form of quarterback, Samari Collier. He transferred into the program in the offseason and will be finishing up his final two years with the program. He will be throwing to another recent Illinois offer, Jaedon Wilson.
Wilson is a 6-foot-1, 160-pound wide receiver from DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas.
