A couple of things about this. It's very unlikely that Newton would play quarterback at Illinois. They have their QB in the class in Carson Boyd, and Newton is a running quarterback and marginal passer. He wouldn't play QB at Florida State either. Not sure how this recruitment is going to play out.
