Illinois in final 3 for elite 2020 LB out of St. Louis

Illinois is still in the running for one of the top linebackers for the 2020 recruiting class.

The recruit is Antonio Doyle Jr., an OLB out of St. Louis, Missouri. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 230 lbs, he is a four-star recruit and the No. 10 OLB for the 2020 class on the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.

Doyle already possesses impressive size and would be a great addition to Illinois’ 2020 recruiting class. As it currently stands, Doyle would be the highest-rated recruit for the Illini in that cycle based on their current commits.
