Tim Walton (Detroit, MI), a three-star outside linebacker from Michigan, will be announcing his college decision on Sunday during the halftime of his high school team's scrimmage. Illinois is Walton's only power five scholarship offer, but Cincinnati, Ball State, Navy, Western Michigan, Toledo, Buffalo, Kent State, and Eastern Michigan are also in the mix. So there's a pretty good chance that the Illini could receive another verbal this weekend.
Three-star offensive lineman Jake Cerny (Traverse City, MI) committed to the Illini on Sunday. He's the 13th member of the 2016 recruiting class; 247Sports has rated him as the fifth-best prospect committed to Illinois.
