AUSTIN, Texas -- Four-star cornerback Darius Mosely (O’Fallon, Ill./O’Fallon Township) admitted his decision was a difficult one, but in the end he couldn’t pass up his in-state school.
Mosely called Illinois coaches on Saturday afternoon to deliver his verbal pledge. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound prospect chose the Fighting Illini over Vanderbilt and also had offers from Arizona State, Michigan State and Iowa, among others.
“I chose Illinois because of the good academics and a chance for early playing time,” Mosely said. “It’s the in-state school, and my family and friends can come see me play. It’s a program that’s trying to get back on track, and I want to be a part of that.”
