In the first weekend, the Badgers hosted all 13 of their committed players, giving the staff some extra help recruiting, and it paid off handsomely. The Badgers came away from the first weekend with four new commitments.
Four-star receiver Jai Jones kicked things off, announcing his commitment to the Badgers before the weekend even finished. Jones’ pledge gave Wisconsin its first receiver in an already impressive class.
