CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- The title for largest human being on the Illinois 2022 football roster has now been handed to an offensive lineman named Zylon Crisler.
Crisler, a native of Crystal Springs, Mississippi, has given his verbal commitment to Bret Bielema’s Illini football program and made the announcement official on Thursday afternoon. Crisler, who was named a Class 6A first team all-state selection by the athletics association for Mississippi’s private high schools two years ago, spent last season as a member of the starting offensive line at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
