Brett Bielema got his first commit as the Illinois football head coach on Tuesday morning.

Josh McCray took to Twitter to announce that he was committing to Illinois. This was a huge announcement because Illinois recruiting has been stagnant for a while.

McCray is a 6-foot-2, 215-pound running back for Enterprise High School and resides in Enterprise, Alabama.
