SPRINGFIELD - Ryan Klachko's high school coach says the big offensive lineman should fit in perfectly at Illinois.  We told you earlier today Klachko has transferred to Illinois from Nebraska.

Very few people know Klachko as well as Ken Leoanrd.  Leonard coached him all four years at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School in Springfield.  While he was there, Klachko emerged as one of the top offensive line prospects in the state.

Klachko is a 6' 4'', 290 pound offensive lineman, who was a 4-star recruit coming out of high school.  Tonight Ken Leonard talked about the new opportunity for his former player.
