It has been a long time coming for the Peoria High School quarterback who committed to the Fighting Illini back in April of 2017.
Coran Taylor was expected to sign with the team during the December Early Signing Period but held off.
Nevertheless, the firm three-star recruit has a lot of potential. Taylor is a dual-threat quarterback who will not only add another an athletic body to the weaker Illinois QB position but offer plenty of talent in a fight for the starting role come this fall.
Illinois still currently has only one quarterback on scholarship in Cam Thomas, so adding to the position is still vitally important.
