Wisconsin’s top five remaining targets in class of 2021

With Wisconsin’s 2020 recruiting class finished for the most part, here’s a look at its top remaining targets in the next class.

TJ Bollers – Defensive End

Bollers is a Tiffin, Iowa native and an Iowa legacy, but while the Hawkeyes remain a strong contender for the 4-star prospect, the word is the Badgers could be out in front of their Big Ten West rivals at the moment.

California, Iowa State and Nebraska join Wisconsin and Iowa as the top contenders for Bollers right now, but there’s a long way to go in this recruitment. The nation’s No. 130 player has other offers from Army, Florida, Kansas State, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech and Washington, and schools like Oklahoma and Stanford are lurking as well.

That being said, I would expect the Badgers to remain near the top of Bollers’ list of suitors moving forward. Wisconsin is recruiting him as a stand-up outside linebacker in its 3-4 defense, a sales pitch that has proved effective so far in his recruitment.
