Two weeks after giving the Illinois Fighting Illini a commitment, Chandler announced Tuesday he was switching to Indiana. He explained the decision in a social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
Chandler wrote, "#AGTG After lots of thoughts and prayers I have decided to decommit from @IlliniFootball and flip my commitment to @IndianaFootball #HOME."Chandler had said he was "1000%" committed to the Illini shortly after making his official visit. It makes sense for the switch because he is from Indianapolis. It appears he wanted to stay closer to home. The Illini still have plenty time this summer to land other receiver recruits for the 2025 class.
"A kid that was basically told a year ago to come back and work on your three," Underwood said. "He shot 37 percent compared to the he did before ... I do think he's going to be in the first round, for sure. Some people have said maybe high as eight, 10. I don't know."
