The three-star team chose the Illini over other top contenders, including the Badgers, Kansas Jayhawks and Indiana Hoosiers.

Chandler is 247Sports’ No. 1,150 player in the class of 2025, No. 173 wide receiver and No. 22 recruit from his home state of Indiana.
He commits to Illinois shortly after an official visit from the program. He was scheduled to visit Wisconsin the weekend of June 14 and Kansas the weekend of June 21.
Chandlers’ commitment gives Illinois a win in what is an escalating recruiting battle between the Badgers and Illini. Coach Bret Bielema is working hard to exploit Wisconsin’s longtime recruiting presence in the Midwest.
Wisconsin’s Class of 2025 currently ranks No. 15 in the nation and No. 4 in the Big Ten. The group has one committed wide receiver in three-star Cameron Miller.
The Badgers have up to 14 total commitments in the class, a number that will certainly increase as official visit weekends continue throughout June.
