Not only does the Illinois Fighting Illini have the biggest game since the 2008 Rose Bowl, but they also have a big-time class of 2017 recruit visiting as well.
It was announced by Jeremy Werner of Scout that 2017 wide receiver Jeff Thomas will be visiting the Illini during the football game against North Carolina.
This is huge news for Illinois considering they weren’t in the running for Thomas just a few months ago but now they have had two visits in the last month from him.
Thomas is a big-time recruit that would be huge for the Illinois recruiting class of 2017.
