Elinneus Davis is probably the most likely candidate to earn Wisconsin's next offer in the state of Minnesota. Defensive line coach Ross Kolodziej is working to get the three-star tackle on campus for a visit this winter.

“The recruiting process right now is a very awesome experience for me,” Davis told Rivals.com. “I’m getting to meet new people and getting to know them is awesome. I think the recruiting process will definitely get more intense moving forward in the next few months, but right now I’m just starting to figure things out.”

Davis currently lists offers from Illinois, Iowa State, Kansas, North Dakota State and Washington.
