Illinois Football: Who Signed and Who's Next for 2017
Lovie Smith and the Illinois Football team are bringing in a very impressive group of talent into Champaign next season.
This fan base is fired up, and there is more to come. The class of 2017 is currently ranked No. 35 in the country by Scout.com.
Who Has Signed:
Who Is Next:
The current Illini signees are recruiting Thomas very hard. Everyone knows how huge of a get this one would be.
More from Writing Illini
Thomas was voted MVP of UA All-American Game and is gifted with brilliant speed. If he signs, Lawson (QB) will have plenty of offensive weapons to work with.
Illinois currently has a couple of offensive linemen signed to the class of 2017. Palczewski would round it out nicely. He plays tackle, and the current class boasts two guards.
Dorsey is another wide receiver and Illinois has already signed plenty, but more offensive weapons never hurts.
Dorsey also gives Illinois another signee from FL, and that solidifies the state of Florida as a pipeline state for recruiting.
Day would be Lovie Smith’s first punter at the U of I, and he is a very solid player. He is a top 10 punter in the nation by 247sports.com.
Debose is a very talented player, and he will commit on Feb 3. He will bring in much-needed depth to the defensive line as some D-Lineman will be entering the NFL draft or graduating this year.
There are more recruits I could add to this list, but we will just have to watch all of this unfold. I am beyond excited for this class, and I do believe We Will Win.
