LOOK: Colts RB Jonathan Taylor lost a bet on the Wisconsin-Northwestern game

The Colts RB had to wear something….interesting

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor lost alongside his Wisconsin teammates this Saturday, even though his new NFL team picked up a win on the field.

Breaking: Wisconsin flips a former 2021 Michigan WR commit

The Badgers land a major Michigan flip in 2021

The Badgers got a major 2021 boost to what is already widely considered the best modern recruiting class in Wisconsin history. Wisconsin flipped a 2021 former Michigan commit and has boosted their 2021 receiving corps in the process.

2021 Ohio native Markus Allen has officially committed to the Badgers.

After initially committing to Michigan on April 28, 2020, Allen decided to decommit from the Wolverines a number of months later in September.

The Badgers have now solidified a position group that lacked depth just a few months ago. Allen joins Skyler Bell as the two recent Wisconsin WR commits in a stacked 2021 class. Even better, they turned a Michigan loss into a Wisconsin gain in the process.
