In the 2016 recruiting class, Wisconsin signed 6-foot-7, 275-pound defensive end Isaiahh Loudermilk, and in the current cycle, the Badgers have a commitment from Aaron Vopal, who checks in at 6-foot-8 and 280 pounds.

Looking at those respective heights and weights, it's clear what position coach Inoke Breckterfield is looking for - physically - at that position. With that in mind, UW extended an offer Wednesday to 2018 lineman Ollie Lane, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound junior from Gibbs High School in Tennessee.
