Jakari Norwood announced via Twitter that he has committed to play football for Illinois in 2018. This was a nice commitment for the Illini. He ended up picking the Illini over his offer scholarship offers of Bowling Green, Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Southern Mississippi. Purdue was also looking at him as well.
Norwood isn’t on the radar for the recruiting sites. He isn’t rated and he isn’t ranked on any site you look at. He is a 5-foot-10, 175-pound running back from Deerfield Beach High School in Deerfield Beach, Florida. He was the fourth player to commit to the Illini for the class of 2018.
