Recruiting news has slowed down a bit with the season now less than one week away and all eyes focused on Graham Mertz and the upcoming schedule.
Paul Chryst and the Badgers are still out on the recruiting trail, though, as they look to continue the momentum from their No. 16-ranked class of 2021.
Though this news did not come as much of a surprise, yesterday the Badgers were listed in the top-4 schools of 2022 four-star defensive tackle Billy Schrauth.

The Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin native is the No. 151 player in the class of 2022, the No. 17 recruit at his position and the No. 3 player from the state of Wisconsin.
247Sports’ current crystal ball projection has Wisconsin and Notre Dame as the lead dogs to land Schrauth, Notre Dame’s projection having the higher confidence level of the two.
After four-star LB/S Braelon Allen reclassified and joined the program’s class of 2021 the Badgers were left without a commit in the 2022 class.
Adding Schrauth would be a big way to change that and maintain their recruiting control in the state in which they play.
