Illinois Fighting Illini Football Recruiting: Five 2015 Recruits The Illini Would Love To Land

The Fighting Illini added wide receivers Geronimo Allison, Mike Dudek, Tyrin Stone-Davis, and Malik Turner in the 2014 class, but last year proved that when it comes to the Bill Cubit system, the more weapons…the better.

So why not try to steal away a top in-state WR from Michigan State and Notre Dame?

Miles Boykin already has the build to be a top-end BCS receiver and he reportedly runs a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash.

As you can see from the agility drill above, Boykin is fast — really fast.

There’s no doubt that Miles Boykin will be a major offensive weapon no matter where he goes. Plus, it should mean something that the Fighting Irish are now looking into him (offered this weekend).

The Illini have the popular name quarterbacks. They have added the JUCO receivers needed to balance their roster.

Now it’s time to go out there and add the top in-state recruit that could take the Orange & Blue to the next level.
