Over the next two weeks, BadgerBlitz.com will be bringing you snapshots for each recruited position, covering the targets who are legitimate prospects on Wisconsin's board in the 2018 class. We will discuss the candidates who are most interested in the Badgers, as well as those who are considered long shots to commit to UW.

As always, this is just a snapshot in time and things remain fluid. Additional offered targets will appear over the next few months and some recruits will inevitably choose other colleges. These positional snapshots are meant to give the lay of the land with Signing Day for the 2017 class quickly approaching.

Today, we take a look at the inside linebackers.

QUARTERBACKS | RUNNING BACKS | TIGHT ENDS | OFFENSIVE LINEMEN | WIDE RECEIVERS | DEFENSIVE ENDS | DEFENSIVE TACKLES |

Wisconsin is absolutely loaded at the inside linebacker position. The Badgers lost two impact players to season-ending injuries in 2016 - Chris Orr and Jack Cichy - but never missed a beat with TJ Edwards, Ryan Connelly and Leon Jacobs picking up the slack. Behind them, the staff is very high on true freshman Griffin Grady, along with youngsters Nick Thomas, Jake Whalen and Dallas Jeanty. With that depth, the staff is not expected to sign an inside linebacker in the 2017 class.

In 2018, defensive coordinator and position coach Justin Wilcox will look to replace Cichy and Jacobs, who are heading into their senior seasons at Wisconsin. With that, two scholarship players on the inside seems realistic early on.
