Two defensive tackles in one day
Just a few hours after Olive Sagapolu pledged to Wisconsin, fellow 2015 defensive tackle Elu Aydon added his name to the Badgers' commit list Monday.

"Everything at Wisconsin made me commit," Aydon told BadgerBlitz.com on Monday. "The coaches were amazing, the football program was amazing and so were the fans.
"I've already made a bond with Olive just over the course of one day. He's an amazing kid and I can't wait to get to work with him next season."

Aydon, 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds, was being recruited by position coach Chad Kauha'aha'a. He was hosted this weekend by freshman offensive lineman Micah Kapoi.
"The visit was amazing," Aydon said. "I loved every second of it. I really liked how coach (Gary) Andersen made family a really important part of the program. Coach Andersen was very excited when I told him today.
"He (Kapoi) told me that it was nice out in Wisconsin, the town itself was amazing and that the coaches took good care of you."
Aydon, from Leone High School in the American Samoa, is the 23rd member of Wisconsin's 2015 class. He chose UW over offers from Colorado, Hawaii and Nevada.
"I'm relieved to have made my decision. It's going to be great at Wisconsin. This is it, I'm a Badger. I'm looking forward to seeing that Jump Around for the next four years of my life."
