Five-star junior prospect Jeremiah Fears committed to Illinois for the 2025 class, choosing the school over Providence.
Fears is Illinois’ first five-star commit since at least 2007.
“It’s my hometown school. I want to win and be a hometown hero. They’ve been recruiting me the longest and the hardest, since the eighth grade. I have a great relationship with Brad Underwood and staff,” said Fears.
Fears is ranked as the No. 16 prospect in the ESPN 60 for 2025.
