Peters announced via Instagram on Tuesday night that he has decided to commit to playing for the Illini. He will have two years of eligibility remaining at the college level as well. This pickup for the Orange and Blue is one of the biggest we have seen in years.
I believe the quarterback situation was going to be fine without Peters. We would have had a competition of about three different options for the Illini with the eventual winner likely to be incoming freshman, Isaiah Williams. That isn’t the case anymore. Things have changed with the addition of Peters.
