10. Owen Anderson

Anderson is a 6-foot-4, 235-pound tight end from Princeton, New Jersey. He is rated as a three-star recruit and ranked as the No. 995 player in the class of 2022.

On April 28, Anderson announced his commitment to the Illini, and now he is taking an official visit to Champaign this weekend. The recruitment of Anderson is in no way finished, though. He still has an official visit set up for June 18 to Michigan State. So, this weekend is extremely important for the Illini to show off what they have with their facilities and family environment.

11. Jordan Anderson

Anderson is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound running back from Joliet, Illinois. He is rated as a three-star recruit and ranked as the No. 1079 player in the class of 2022.

I loved when Anderson committed to the Illini back on April 29. He is a big physical back who can run people over. Anderson will be taking his visit to Illinois this weekend, and he doesn’t have another official visit set up as of right now.

12. Hank Beatty

Beatty is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound wide receiver from Rochester, Illinois. He is rated as a three-star recruit and ranked as the No. 1267 player in the class of 2022.

Bret Bielema was only a couple of weeks into the job at Illinois when he offered Beatty a scholarship. On April 17, the wide receiver committed to the Illini. He is now taking an official visit to Illinois this weekend and doesn’t have another one set up yet.

13. Clayton Leonard

Leonard is a 6-foot-4, 265-pound interior offensive lineman from Danforth, Illinois. He is rated as a three-star recruit and ranked as the No. 1280 player in the class of 2022.

April was a good commitment month for the Illini, as Leonard joined the program on April 18. He is another great in-state get for Bielema and his coaching staff. Leonard will now join a myriad of other players in taking his official visit to Champaign this weekend. He doesn’t have another visit set up right now.

14. Henry Boyer

Boyer is a 6-foot-6, 250-pound tight end out of Oak Lawn, Illinois. He is rated as a three-star recruit and ranked as the No. 66 tight end in the country.

While Boyer doesn’t have a national recruiting ranking right now, the Illini coaching staff sees the potential in this kid. They offered Boyer a scholarship on April 17 and he committed to the program on April 29. He is now taking an official visit to Illinois this weekend and doesn’t have another visit set up.
