Tristan Monday came into his official visit to Wisconsin this past weekend as a member of Arizona's 2022 commit list.

When the dust settled on Monday, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound defensive end had flipped his pledge to the Badgers, he told BadgerBlitz.com. A three-star prospect from Saguaro High School in Arizona, Monday is commit No. 12 for UW in the senior cycle.

Monday, who committed to Arizona in March, chose the Wildcats over offers from Baylor, Colorado, Florida State, Iowa State and New Mexico, among others. He is Wisconsin's first projected defensive end pledge in this class.

"Tristan is a phenomenal player and he’s a tremendous get for Wisconsin," Saguaro head coach Jason Mohns told BadgerBlitz.com. "Arguably the best pass rusher we’ve had in my time at Saguaro, and we’ve had some special players.

"He’s a team captain, a beast in the weight room and plays football with his hair on fire. Tristan has a great frame to add size/strength and in my opinion his best football is ahead of him."
