Wisconsin received commitment No. 6 in the 2021 class on Friday night as the Badgers landed linebacker Bryan Sanborn from Lake Zurich High School in Illinois.
Sanborn is the younger brother of starting inside linebacker Jack Sanborn. Bryan is rated as a three-star linebacker by both Rivals and 247 Sports as Sanborn selected Wisconsin over a number of offers including offers from Cincinnati, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan, Minnesota, and Nebraska.
Sanborn like his older brother is projected to play on the inside as his primary recruiter will be his position coach when he arrives in Madison in Bob Bostad.
Sanborn joins a 2021 recruiting class that already includes athlete Jackson Acker, offensive lineman J.P. Benzschawel, running back Loyal Crawford, quarterback Deacon Hill, and offensive lineman Riley Mahlman.
