It is not a secret that the state of Texas has been good to the Illini since Lovie Smith took over the program. Lovie’s hiring of wide receivers coach Andrew Hayes-Stoker has really helped solidify their recruiting efforts in this talent-rich state. The Illini are also starting to target class of 2022 recruits, like Justin Medlock, from the Lone Star State.
Medlock is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound outside linebacker from Manvel High School in Manvel, Texas. He isn’t rated or ranked by the recruiting sites because he is from the class of 2022, which is a little too far away for the rankings.
