The Badges have added another in-state recruit to the class of 2017 as athlete Jake Ferguson announced his commitment to the Wisconsin football program on Thursday afternoon.
It’s not surprising to many that Ferguson gave his commitment to the Badgers considering his family history. Ferguson’s brother, Joe, is currently a walk-on sophomore safety for the Badgers. Oh , and their grandfather just happens to be the legendary Barry Alvarez.
Ferguson announced his commitment Thursday on Twitter.
Ferguson is a three-star athlete out of Madison Memorial High School. He’s ranked the fourth-best prospect in the state and the 30th-best prospect nationally at the inside linebacker position by 247 Sports.
