No. 16: Cornerback Nate Johnson
Offers: Boston College, Indiana, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Temple, Toledo, Washington State, West Virginia, Western Kentucky and Wisconsin, among others.
Previous Rank: N/A
The Word: A projected cornerback, Nate Johnson is scheduled to take officials to Wisconsin, Boston College, Minnesota and Pittsburgh in June. The Badgers offered during a virtual visit in March.
"Coach (Hank) Poteat is a very straight-forward coach," Johnson told BadgerBlitz.com. "He thinks Wisconsin can make me a better player and that I’m a good fit for them. Wisconsin likes the way I can play on both sides of the ball in high school. They also said I had great speed and they like the versatility I bring to the field. Looking at the virtual visit, it looks like a great program with a great coaching staff that has NFL experience."
No. 15: Safety Damon Walters
Offers: Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Northwestern, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin, among others
Previous Rank: 15
The Word: After offering Damon Walters this winter, the Badgers got the three-star safety on campus twice this spring. Wisconsin recruited his older brother, Justin Walters, in the 2021 class before he eventually signed with Notre Dame.
