The 90 Illini #74: Trey Petty
First off, he has one of my favorite recruit tweets of all time. Trey Petty committed to Illinois in early May last year. That summer, in the end of July, Ole Miss offered him. As you're probably aware, when players get an offer from somewhere, they usually put out a "blessed to receive an offer from..." tweet and include a photo of that team or that stadium.
When Trey Petty tweeted that he was offered by Ole Miss last July, he attached this photo:

That's current Illini quarterback (and former Ole Miss quarterback) Luke Altmyer in the photo. What a fantastic way to say "thanks for the offer, Ole Miss, but just like that guy in the picture, I'm headed to Illinois."
