Christopher Burgess Jr., a four-star class of 2025 edge rusher from Chicago, Illinois visited Madison on Saturday. The soon to be junior at Simeon High School was offered by the Badgers in May and has now made his official visit.

Burgess is a 6-foot-4, 240-pound problem off the edge and he is considered a top 25 defensive lineman in the class of 2025 by 247Sports. His sophomore season highlights from Simeon can be found here.

With Luke Fickell taking over at head coach, defense has remained a focus of the future and Burgess would be a massive commitment if the Badgers can get him. As of right now, only quarterback Landyn Locke (Rockwall, TX) has committed for the class of 2025.
