Off to one of the best starts in recent memory after two consecutive lights-out performances, Wisconsin is also finding plenty of success on the recruiting trail lately.
After taking an official visit to campus over the weekend and watching the Badgers crush Central Michigan, Roger Bacon (Cincinnati, OH) defensive end James Thompson announced today that he will be joining Wisconsin’s 2020 class. Ranked by the 247Sports composite as the nation’s No. 103 strong-side defensive end and No. 1878 overall player, the 3-star prospect chose the Badgers over other offers from Iowa State, Akron, Ball State, Chattanooga, Coastal Carolina, Eastern Kentucky, Navy, and The Citadel.
