The best news Badger fans have heard in months: Earlier today five-star offensive tackle and the No. 14 player in the class of 2021 Nolan Rucci committed to play for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Rucci is the No. 2 highest-ranked recruit the program has ever landed after 2007’s No. 13-ranked recruit offensive tackle Josh Ogelsby and one of five five-stars in program history: Him, Ogelsby, 2019 offensive tackle Logan Brown, 2001 defensive tackle Anttaj Hawthorne and 2003 defensive end Justin Ostrowski.

I could write for years about the caliber of player Rucci is and what his signing means for the program. But first, reaction from Badger players, recruits, commits, coaches and more.
