Illinois Football Recruiting: Offensive tackle Devon Robinson commits to Illinois over Miami (FL)

It's been a good day for Illinois football! After receiving some votes in the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll, the Fighting Illini picked up a verbal commitment from 2016 offensive tackle Devon Robinson. The Atco, NJ native is rated as a two-star recruit by 247Sports and held offers from Miami (FL), Army, and Temple; Michigan and Rutgers had expressed interest as well.
