Wisconsin loses out on four-star DE to a Big Ten rival

The Badgers lost out on a four-star 2024 edge rusher on Sunday. 2024 prospect Dominic Nichols is staying in the Big Ten but will not suit up for Wisconsin.

Nichols announced his commitment to Michigan on Sunday afternoon. He had taken three visits, the first to Wisconsin, followed by Kentucky and Michigan.

Nichols is a 6-foot-5 edge rusher who is seen as the No. 10 player in the state of Maryland’s 2024 class by 247Sports. The news was broken by Hayes Fawcett of On3, who reported Nichols said he was “coming to win a natty.”

Michigan has been close the past two years, and looks to get over that hump in 2024.
