A 6-foot-1, 213-pound senior from Scottsdale (AZ) Saguaro, Lyles was Wisconsin's second commit in the current cycle. He led Saguaro to a state title this fall along with his young brother, junior lineman Kayden Lyles, who is also committed to the Badgers.
This spring, Kare' Lyles could see himself at the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, depending on where D.J. Gillins, who was moved from quarterback to receiver this fall, ends up. Junior Bart Houston and freshman Alex Hornibrook are the most likely options to replace senior starter Joel Stave in 2016.
Jeany, a 6-foot, 211-pound projected middle linebacker from Florida, committed to UW in June. His future position has much more competition, with four players with starting experience -- T.J. Edwards, Leon Jacobs, Chris Orr and Jack Cichy -- set to return. Ryan Connelly, Keelon Brookins, Nick Thomas and Ty DeForest are also back in the middle.
Both Lyles and Jeanty took their official visit to Madison in late September.
