The Badgers land a 2022 walk-on commitment

The Badgers picked up a late addition to their 2022 recruiting class when Minnesota native Lee Hutton announced his decision to join Wisconsin. Hutton released the news via his Twitter account on Wednesday morning.

Hutton has primarily played cornerback during his high school career at Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, Minn. The 5-foot-8 commit will accept a walk-on spot with the Badgers.

In addition to playing cornerback, Hutton has also played wide receiver and returned kicks for his Hopkins squad. He was an all-conference selection this past season. The newest Badger commit might be a Minnesota native, but he was quick to say “bring the axe back” in his commitment message:
