Illinois flips in-state prospect, lands commitment from 3-star OL for 2023 recruiting class
Published:
The Illinois offensive line just got a big boost, both literally and figuratively.
The Illini received a commitment from 6-foot-5, 330-pound 3-star in-state recruit Brandon Henderson. The OL was previously committed to Iowa State but flipped to Illinois on Tuesday.
Henderson announced his commitment on Twitter, saying “Thank you to the Iowa State staff and coaches for the opportunity, but I will be flipping my commitment to the University of Illinois.” The OL followed up with another tweet saying he was “coming home.”

Henderson is the No. 82 offensive tackle prospect in the Class of 2023 and is No. 18 prospect in the state of Illinois per the 247 Sports Composite Rankings. He joins six other in-state recruits and 18 other commitments to Illinois in the 2023 cycle. Henderson will also be joined in Champaign by his East St. Louis High School teammate LB Antwon Hayden.
