The news arrives the same day as Wisconsin’s latest three-star CB commit Rukeem Stroud flipped his commitment to the University of Central Florida.
Even with Bell’s decision and Stroud’s flip, Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 13 in the nation with 20 players committed. The group has two cornerbacks committed: three-star Jaimier Scott and three-star Jahmare Washington.
