6. Kyle Williams, Bolingbrook

When Epenesa went with Iowa for his school, it reminded many of another top Illinois football recruit that chose the Hawkeyes. Williams is the highest-rated Iowa recruit since 2000. “The Bonecrusher” stood at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds and could run a 4.47 40-yard dash. He was ruled academically ineligible prior to his freshman season and would later transfer to Purdue where he would play eight games.
