<div id="attachment_7241" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/6784102.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7241" title="NCAA Football: Illinois at Northwestern" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/6784102-300x210.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="210" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nov 24, 2011; Evanston, IL, USA; Illinois Fighting Illini head coach Tim Beckman leads his team to the field before the game against the Northwestern Wildcats at Ryan Field.

<p>The offer from the Fighting Illini is Fitzgerald&#8217;s first official offer, but he is still receiving early attention from some other college programs. The other teams showing interest in the young recruit are the Duke Blue Devils, North Carolina Tar Heels, and Northwestern Wildcats.</p>
<p>As a sophomore in 2012, Fitzgerald completed 96 out of 195 passes while throwing for 1,300 yards. He also threw 14 touchdowns and only eleven interceptions.</p>
<p>Jimmy Fitzgerald is tall for only being a sophomore in high school. He stands at 6&#8217;3&#8243; while weighing 205 pounds.</p>
<p>Fitzgerald can definitely use his size in the passing game. His only dark spot is his eleven inceptions (if you want to get picky).</p>
<p>The 2015 recruit currently is not ranked by 247 Sports, Scouts, or Rivals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On May 6th, the Illinois Fighting Illini extended an offer to 2015 offensive tackle, Chuma Edoga.</p>
<p>Edoga has received offers from the Clemson Tigers, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Illinois Fighting Illini, and North Carolina Tar Heels. However, he is also receiving interest from the Georgia Bulldogs.</p>
<div id="attachment_7221" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/5580680.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7221" title="NCAA Football: Western Michigan at Illinois" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/5580680-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sep 24, 2011; Champaign, IL, USA; Illinois Fighting Illini cheerleaders celebrate a touchdown during the second half against the Western Michigan Broncos at Memorial Stadium. Illinois defeated Western Michigan 23-20. Mandatory Credit: Reid Compton-USA TODAY Sports</p></div>
<p>Chuma Edoga is a very physical blocker at the line and some of that can be attributed to his size and frame.</p>
<p>Edoga stands tall at 6&#8217;4&#8243; and weighs a powerful 265 pounds.</p>
<p>He uses his size and big frame to push defenders down the field or to the outside. Defenders seems to need to use a lot of energy in order to &#8220;try&#8221; and get past Edoga.</p>
<p>The one spot where Edoga could improve is getting to the next level on blocks.</p>
<p>Sometimes, he forces his defender to the ground, but, instead of trying to stay on his feet in order to push forward, he falls down with the defender.</p>
<p>The 2015 recruit currently is not ranked by 247 Sports, Scouts, or Rivals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Illinois Fighting Illini extended an offer to 2014 dual-threat quarterback, Will Ulmer, on April 23rd. Ulmer has a 91 rating on 247 Sports and is the 3rd best recruit from the Washington D.C. area.</p>
<div id="attachment_7101" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/04/67841023.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7101" title="NCAA Football: Illinois at Northwestern" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/04/67841023-300x210.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="210" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nov 24, 2011; Evanston, IL, USA; Illinois Fighting Illini head coach Tim Beckman leads his team to the field before the game against the Northwestern Wildcats at Ryan Field. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-USA TODAY Sports</p></div>
<p>The four-star quarterback has received offers from the Maryland Terrapins, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Arizona State Sun Devils, Boston College Eagles, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Illinois Fighting Illini, Marshall Thundering Herd, North Carolina Tar Heels, Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, Syracuse Orange, Temple Owls, West Virginia Mountaineers, and Wisconsin Badgers.</p>
<p>At this point in time, it appears that Maryland and Nebraska are at the head of pack out of Ulmer&#8217;s offers. However, he is also heavily interested in the Oregon Ducks and the Ohio State Buckeyes, but they have not offered at the 2014 quarterback.</p>
<p>Based on the Ulmer&#8217;s skill set, he is more of a running quarterback than a pocket passer. On 247 Sports, his best skills are his intangibles and elusiveness while his worst skills are his accuracy and pocket presence. However, Ulmer does have a decently strong arm.</p>
<p>When looking at his stats, one would see that Ulmer is more of a runner. In 2012, he ran for 1,412 yards and fifteen touchdowns compared to throwing for 1,245 yards and ten touchdowns.</p>
<p>Although he can be seen as an average thrower, Ulmer is a very smart quarterback. Right now, he is just out of the Top 200, but could easily be in the Top 200 with a little work on his accuracy or release.</p>
<p>The four-star recruit is currently ranked 3rd in the Washington D.C. area, 3rd among dual-threat quarterback, and 203rd nationally among 2014 high school recruits by <a href="http://247sports.com/">247Sports</a>.</p>
