With Signing Day quickly approaching, BadgerBlitz.com will take a look back at the top five prospects Wisconsin has signed at each position during the Rivals.com era (since 2004).
Today, we continue with the tight ends.
1A Austin Traylor (Rivals ranking: 5.8)
BREAKDOWN: Ohio's Austin Traylor took official visits to Arizona, Cincinnati, Michigan, West Virginia and Wisconsin and had offers from a number of programs across the Midwest. But he committed to the Badgers, in large because of his relationship with lead recruiter Joe Rudolph. Primarily a defensive end in high school, Traylor signed on to be a tight end because Wisconsin already had commitments from Jesse Hayes and James Adeyanju in the same class. As a Badger, Traylor played in 38 games with 18 starts, primarily in a blocking role.
