  10/23/20 - OG Blake JeresatyrSr/2022, Illinois, 6-1, 305 (DS#999 OG) + More +

  Illinois has made strides up front in recent years and returns four starters (center Doug Kramer, left guard Kendrick Green and tackles Vederian Lowe and Alex Palczewski) with a combined 124 career starts. The Illini brought in Wofford transfer Blake Jeresaty, an FCS All-American at center, to play right guard, but he had season-ending shoulder surgery, leaving the job to former four-star recruit Verdis Brown. The main goal will be opening up a running game that averaged 3.8 yards per carry last season. - Herald-Review

  Blake Jeresaty believes in risks - in challenging himself to take a less comfortable path in the interest of personal growth. He could have returned to Wofford, an FCS school, for his redshirt senior season and continued to be not only one of the best centers in the Southern Conference, but all of the FCS - he was an All-American last season. He also could have fallen into a level of complacency without really testing his own boundaries as a football player. Jeresaty, a 6-foot-2, 290-pounder, knew he could play football at a high level, but was lightly recruited out of Bishop England High School in Charleston, S.C. because he was undersized. Wofford took a chance on him and he developed into a top-tier center. In a November game against Clemson - yes, that Clemson - the idea that he could play against anyone started to take root in his mind.

He didn't falter against a perennial national championship contender and held his own like he did in every other FCS game in which he played. But there's not time time to contemplate every play over the course of a season. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and stopped athletics in their tracks, Jeresaty had time to let that game fester. Eventually, he elected to enter the transfer portal, where in the back of his mind he knew he wanted to play at a Power Five program, and those programs came calling. For seven days he remained uncommitted in the portal before pledging to join the Illinois football team as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining and eyes on an open right guard spot to fill out an experienced offensive line. He's the third graduate transfer of the offseason to verbally commit to Illinois. - Herald-Review Times

  Offensive line depth has been a persistent issued during Lovie Smith's tenure as Illinois football coach. The Illini partially addressed that by adding three prep linemen in their 2020 class. Saturday's commitment from Wofford transfer Blake Jeresaty will also more immediate help to Illinois' depth up front as a graduate transfer. The Charleston, S.C., native started the last two seasons for the Terriers, an FCS program, and earned All-American honors in 2019.

Jeresaty played in 35 total games in three seasons at Wofford after redshirting as a true freshman in 2016. The 6-foot-2, 290-pound lineman made all 28 of his career starts at center. Jeresaty is the second transfer addition this week after Illinois also received a commitment from New Mexico State wide receiver Desmond Dan Jr. on Thursday. The Illini added another graduate transfer in early March in Wisconsin linebacker Christian Bell, who will likely shift to defensive end for Smith. - News Gazette Tribune
