Yes, Illinois is looking to replace Kamden Lopati in the Class of 2027. After the Composite four-star Utah prospect flipped his commitment from Illinois to Michigan earlier this month, the Illinois staff has been back on the recruiting trail in an attempt to add a talented passer in the class.
The Illini on Monday made their first scholarship offer since Lopati’s decommitment, with quarterbacks coach Art Sitkowski extending an offer to California quarterback Dane Weber after watching him throw live.
247Sports ranks the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Temecula (Calif.) Chaparral junior as the No. 31 quarterback in the Class of 2027, and Weber is the No. 461 overall prospect nationally, according to the Composite rankings.
