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 Zach Keller.

Keller comes out of Littleton, Colorado and is currently rated as a four-star prospect and the top player in the State of Colorado by 247Sports. He’s starting to get some serious attention in the 2022 recruiting cycle and is listed at 6-foot-9 and 220 pounds. Along with Illinois, he also has offers from Arizona State, California, Colorado, Texas Tech, and Virginia Tech among others.
Illinois currently has three commitments in the program’s 2022 recruiting class from four-star prospects Jayden Epps and Sencire Harris and three-star prospect Reggie Bass. However, fans are hoping to add more to the fold, especially after two straight productive seasons in Champaign. And Keller certainly looks like an option. 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.
