National Signing Day 2016: Patrick Johnson Adds DB Depth

The Wisconsin Badgers National Signing Day 2016 class is well underway, and the Badgers have added multiple defensive backs, including Patrick Johnson.

The Badgers lone commit out of Maryland, the three-star athlete is expected to play safety for the Badgers. 247 Sports ranks him the 24th-best prospect in the state of Maryland and the 67th-best athlete nationally.

Johnson committed to the Badgers last July, and reaffirmed that commitment by signing his letter of intent on signing day.
