Illini Land Mississippi QB Shack

Illinois football just pulled off a major recruiting win, snagging top-100 QB Sladen Shack from Brandon, Mississippi — the fourth commitment from that same visit weekend. After losing four-star Kamden Lopati to Michigan, the Illini rebounded fast, landing Shack, a 6’1”, 211-pound three-star signal caller who had only two Power Four offers before choosing Champaign. He joins a growing Mississippi pipeline under Coach Bielema, following Luke Altmyer and Trey Petty. With half their 2027 class locking in in just four days, Illinois is on a hot streak — and more commits could be coming this weekend.
