Highly-rated cornerback Victor Singleton has narrowed his college choices to five, with Illinois being one of the contenders.
Four-star cornerback Victor Singleton , from Toledo, Ohio, has narrowed his college football choices to five schools, including coach Bret Bielema's Illinois team. The 2026 recruit from Central Catholic High School (Toledo, Ohio) has four Big Ten teams in his top five: Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, and Illinois . Texas A&M completes his list. Ranked as the No. 49 recruit nationally, No. 5 at his position, and No.
2 in Ohio by ESPN, Singleton had an outstanding junior year with four interceptions, five pass breakups, one punt block, and a field goal block. He anchored a defense that allowed only 11.9 points per game. Central Catholic finished the 2024 season 14-2, winning a regional championship and reaching the Division III state championship game. Illinois' 10-win season, capped by a Citrus Bowl victory over No. 14 South Carolina, is their best in over two decades. This success has translated into strong recruiting, with Illinois' 42nd-ranked 2025 class (247 Sports) being their highest in the Bielema era. While recruiting has improved, landing a program-changing prospect like Singleton could significantly elevate Illinois' status. He would be the highest-rated recruit to sign with Illinois since Martez Wilson (No. 5) and Arrelious Benn (No. 17) in the Class of 2007
