Earlier this week, Paul Chryst and his coaching staff extended a scholarship offer to 2024 three-star athlete Caleb Benning out of Omaha, Nebraska.
Per the 247Sports Composite, he’s the No. 449 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, the No. 67 ATH in the country, and the No. 3 player in Nebraska.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound ATH currently holds offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Vanderbilt, and now Wisconsin.
Benning, a standout at Westside High School, finished his sophomore season with 68 tackles, six pass deflections, and four interceptions, according to MaxPreps.
Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard is reportedly pursuing him to play safety for the Badgers.

The Nebraska native announced his scholarship offer from the University of Wisconsin via his Twitter account:
