University of Mississippi transfer quarterback Luke Altmyer has committed to Illinois.

He announced his decision in a tweet Thursday night.

Altmyer has three seasons of eligibility remaining. He comes with a high prospect pedigree, as he was a top-200 prospect according to the 247Sports Composite rankings for the class of 2021. At the time of his commitment, he ranked as the No. 8 quarterback in a transfer portal loaded with experienced star power.

There isn’t a ton of collegiate film on Altmyer, but the limited film available shows a quarterback with potential to thrive in Barry Lunney Jr.
