Lands at Illinois
Franklin has committed to Illinois, Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Franklin had a quiet campaign last season at Ole Miss, only appearing in three games and catching four passes. However, his previous three seasons at UTSA where he hauled in a total of 34 touchdowns show the type of playmaker he can be. Despite the relatively late commitment, he has a chance to be a major part of the Illini's offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Even at a smaller school like UTSA, Franklin's production over the last three years is quick to jump out. He's led the team in receiving production in each of his first three years, and now he heads into his senior season with a fifth-year quarterback (Frank Harris) fresh off a 27-touchdown season. Franklin has always been good, but 2022 could be the best version yet, even after a junior season that saw him catch 81 receptions for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns on 125 targets.
