Beason is a high-level recruit who would continue to build the Illini program. He is currently rated as a four-star recruit who is the No. 122 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 9 athlete in the nation. This kid can do just about everything on the football field.
Just about two weeks ago, Beason decided to cut his list down to his top 12. That list consisted of Texas, UCLA, Nebraska, Washington, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas A&M, Arkansas, BYU, TCU, Baylor and Illinois. This list consists of some top programs but it looks like the Illini are the ones standing out right now.
