Mississippi State transfer wide receiver Zakhari Franklin remains a top target for Illinois. He took official visits to Illinois and Washington. Offensive coordinator Barry Lunney Jr. coached Franklin at UTSA in 2020-21.
Franklin re-entered the transfer portal after being limited to four games and just four catches at Ole Miss last season after an injury in training camp set him back.
He's been one of the most productive wide receivers in college football during his career, however. Franklin left UTSA as its all-time leader in catches, receiving yards and receiving TDs.
In five seasons, he has totaled 3,386 yards and 38 TDs and was a two-time All-Conference player at UTSA.
