Lovie adds to 2018 class

The majority of the 2018 recruiting class is already signed for the Illini.

Yet Lovie Smith's program added to its haul on Sunday by picking up verbal commitments from three-out-of-state players, including quarterback Matt Robinson.

Robinson is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound dual-threat quarterback from JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. He held offers from several FCS schools before Illinois offered him on Saturday and he committed roughly 24 hours later.

Joining Robinson on Sunday was another skill position player from California in Kenyon Sims.

Sims is a 5-11, 195-pound running back from San Diego and is a former Utah commit.
