Illinois lands commitment from 3-star Florida defensive back
Published:
Illinois has received a verbal commitment from 2024 Largo (Fla.) High defensive back Chase Green.
The 6-foot, 185-pound safety revealed his choice on Tuesday, picking the Illini over Temple and Tulane, among others. He took official visits to all 3, and also held offers from South Florida, Liberty, FIU, Arkansas State, and Bethune-Cookman.
The Illini have really caught fire on the trail during June, but especially of late. Green’s pledge is the third public commitment Illinois has received in the last 24 hours.

He’s a 3-star recruit in the industry-generated 247 Composite. Green ranks as the No. 106 safety and the No. 182 recruit from the state of Florida. Overall, he’s the No. 1334 prospect in the class.
Green also runs track for Largo. He played both ways as a junior last fall, receiving snaps at running back and safety. He was credited with 68 tackles, 4 interceptions, 2 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles on defense. He added 635 yards of total offense (333 rushing, 6.1 YPC; 302 receiving, 21.6 YPC) and 3 touchdowns.
Illinois is up to 14 known commitments now for the 2024 cycle. Three of those are from defensive backs. You can see his highlight tape below, via Hudl:
