The Illinois Fighting Illini are adding talent to their wide receiver room with three-star Brayden Trimble out of Mt. Zion, Illinois.

"First I want to thank god for putting me in the position I am in today," Trimble wrote in his post. "I am thankful for all the coaches that have spent time believing in me in this recruitment process, and I want to thank my family and friends for sticking with me during this whole process, especially thankful for my parents taking time off on many things to take me around the country to see many schools. With all that being said I am very excited to say.
The Illini went 5-7 last season, and some strong improvements to the offense may boost their record in the near future.Anthony Pasciolla is a sports writer who has contributed to FanNation's Inside the Heat since June 2023.
