Illinois first Power 5 offer for in-state lineman
St. Charles (Ill.) East sophomore offensive lineman Dylan Barrett received an offer from Illinois last week, making it his first Power Five offer in the early stages of his recruitment.
The 6-foot-5, 285-pound lineman said offensive line coach Luke Butkus reached out to his coach to deliver the news.
“It's incredible,” Barrett said. “Some of the best linemen come out of the Big 10, and the University of Illinois has some of the best facilities, coaching staff, and, of course, a great education. I'm honored to have an opportunity to play there.”
