Story: Rivals250 DB Amare Snowden drops top six
Official visit: TBD
The Word: Amare Snowden, a four-star defensive back from Michigan, recently chopped his list to six schools. Playing baseball is also on the table at the next level, something that could hurt Wisconsin's chances if he pursues both options. Snowden does, however, have an excellent relationship with coordinator Jim Leonhard.
