Illinois' stud true freshman outside LB Gabe Jacas (pronounced Yacas).
Hindsight is 20/20, but a guy like this is as impressive as a four-star commitment in my opinion: Being able to scout and evaluate and pull a kid like this out of Florida.
OLB for the Illini, true freshman.
Was a 5.5 three-star recruit, unranked in Florida.
Two-time state wrestling champion.
He has 4 sacks, tied for most in the nation by a freshman.
Consensus mid-season freshman All-America.
Bielema says he's a freak of nature, looks like a senior despite being only 18 years old.
Visited Illinois in late November of 2021, signed three weeks later. That was his only official visit.
Miss State and Tenn also offered.
