Wisconsin football class of 2025 edge signee Nicolas Clayton was selected to the Navy All-American Bowl on Tuesday.
Clayton, who committed to Wisconsin’s program on June 22, will now receive one more opportunity to display his on-field prowess before joining the Badgers program this offseason.
The talented four-star recruit is currently ranked by 247Sports as the No. 375 overall recruit in the class of 2025, No, 30 edge rusher and No. 53 prospect from his home state of Florida.
During his senior slate with F. W. Buchholz High School in Gainesville, Florida, Clayton registered 87 total tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, two blocked field goals, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Outside of four-star linebacker Mason Posa and four-star defensive lineman Jaylen Williams, Clayton is one of the better defensive players in UW’s class of 2025.
