Wisconsin and Nebraska, which square off Saturday evening, had some key head-to-head recruiting battles over the last few years. BadgerBlitz.com takes a closer look at those five prospects inside.
*Note: Prospects in this report only includes athletes on the Cornhuskers' current roster.
No. 1: Defensive end A.J. Natter (6-foot-5, 260-pound junior)
Recruiting story: A.J. Natter (Milton High School) was one of just a few prospects who left the state with an offer from Wisconsin under then-head coach Bret Bielema. Nebraska, Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue, Boston College and Western Michigan all offered before the Badgers came in with a scholarship in February of 2012. Roughly two months later, the former three-star prospect committed to the Cornhuskers. During his time in Lincoln, Natter has battled injuries and is currently No. 2 on the depth chart behind Freedom Akinmoladun. In the 2013 class, the Badgers signed defensive ends Chikwe Obasih and Alec James, both of whom are expected to start Saturday.
