WR Arrelious Benn — The 18-year-old freshman should still be in high school, but he graduated a semester early and immediately became Illinois' best offensive threat. Benn made big plays in every Illinois scrimmage and established a nice rapport with QB Juice Williams. He's got a 31 inch vertical and 4.4 speed......came out of Dunbar High School in Washington D.C. Rivals.com says "Benn has tight end strength with wide receiver speed"
And this from their Spring Game:
The Illinois Football team hosted its annual Orange and Blue Spring game this weekend with the offense topping the defense 49-33, using a special scoring system to award points to the defense. The offense, led by sophomore quarterback Isiah "Juice" Williams, scored four touchdowns on the day, while the defense forced two turnovers.
The offense posted many big plays on the day, mostly coming from the passing combination of Williams and true-freshman Arrelious Benn. The pair connected on a 64-yard pass on the second play of the game, followed by a 31-yarder and 35-yard catch. Benn scored one of the team's four touchdowns, on a 30-yard touchdown run. Benn averaged 29 yards per catch on the day, recording five receptions for 145 yards.
