Earlier this month, the Illinois Fighting Illini put out a key offer in the 2022 recruiting cycle. Brad Underwood and his staff decided to offer 2022 prospect Jayshayne Woodard.

Riverside Hawks & Wings Academy has now earned offers from Illinois & St. Peter’s@_proinsight
Woodard comes out of The Bronx in New York and is currently unrated by most of the major recruiting services. He is listed at 6-foot-6 and 170 pounds by Verbal Commits. Along with Illinois, he also has offers from Manhattan and St. Peter’s among others.
Illinois currently has no commitments in the program’s 2022 recruiting class. However, Illinois does have some momentum after a productive 2019-’20 season and some lofty projections heading into next season. And if Woodard can get things rolling on the recruiting trail, perhaps Illinois could be in play for a great 2022 class. However, we will have to wait and see as his recruitment is still very much in the air. Underwood and his staff will have to put in some work.
