The Illinois coaching staff has set out to build the defensive line into one of the best units in the country. To accomplish this goal, we will need to keep bringing in talented players who can suit up early on in their career. That is what I see with Ryheem Craig.
Craig is a 6-foot-3, 212-pound weak-side defensive end from Alexander Central High School and resides in Taylorsville, North Carolina. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 1239 player in the class of 2021 and the No. 65 weak-side defensive end in the nation.
