Illinois’ secondary is getting some depth via the transfer portal.

Friday, the Fighting Illini landed a commitment from former Minnesota State transfer cornerback Terrell Jennings. He made his announcement with a post on Twitter. The news comes a day after Illinois held its annual spring game.

Jennings spent two seasons at Minnesota State (including the pandemic-hit 2020 season) before opting to enter the transfer portal. He’ll be immediately eligible for the Fighting Illini.

Last season at Minnesota State, Jennings recorded 19 total tackles with 4 pass break-ups and an interception. A total of 15 stops were credited as solo.

Jennings’ top performance during the 2021 campaign at Minnesota State, when he posted a season-high 5 tackles and collected his first interception.

Illinois is coming off a 5-7 campaign in 2021, falling just one win short of a bowl berth. The Illini will be entering the second year under Bret Bielema in 2022.
