Pickerington (Ohio) Central junior and ESPNU 150 Watch List defensive end/linebacker Taco Charlton spoke with Illinois for the first time Monday, and the conversation ended with an offer.
“We were talking on Facebook and he messaged me and told me about the offer,” Charlton said. “He said how they used to coach at Toledo and just got the job at Illinois and wanted to let me know I had an offer.”
The online conversation didn’t last long and the Illini staff didn’t elaborate much to Charlton, who now has nine offers. Charlton plans to speak with the staff again sometime soon.
