OL Dylan Frechette Pledges To Illinois Football Prior To The 2025 Early Signing Period

As the final hours of Tuesday evening (12/3) came to a close, Florida offensive lineman Dylan Frechette announced via his “X” page that he has officially flipped his commitment from FIU, to Illinois Football.  The West Palm Beach (Fla.) native boosts the Illini in the 2025 class rankings, bringing the group of 20 commits to 47th in the nation according to 247 Sports.

 

Impact

Frechette, a 6’5”, 335-pound mauler, is currently ranked as the No. 116 interior offensive lineman in the country after a really productive senior season at Cardinal Newman High School. Consequently, the mammoth of an offensive lineman’s recruiting saw quite a boost. Dylan’s expanded offer list includes Pittsburgh, Miami, UMass, Southern Miss, Akron, Arkansas State, Bryant, FIU, Georgia Southern, Illinois State, North Carolina A&T, Old Dominion, Troy, West Georgia, and Western Kentucky.

He joins Griffin Rousseau, Michael McDonough, and JJ Hirdes as the 4th offensive line commit in the class of 2025. The big man has enough athleticism to play any position on Bart Millers front five. However, it appears that Dylan is on track to play on the interior for Illinois Football (Center, Guard), once those positions open up. With development, there is a chance Frechette could be in the mix for some starting battles in 2026, following the eventual graduations of current redshirt Juniors Josh Kreutz and Josh Gesky.

Another commitment flip is certainly a trend to follow, as Illinois Football continues to progress under Bret Bielema.
