As the Wisconsin Badgers looked to put the closing touches on a solid 2017 recruiting class, they received a verbal pledge from a Midwest safety.
Detroit, Mich. (University of Detroit Jesuit High) prospect Scott Nelson committed to Wisconsin on Monday. He announced his decision via Twitter.
Earlier in the day, buzz from BadgerBlitz.com’s Jon McNamara and Badger247’s Evan Flood noted a commitment was coming for UW. 247Sports, Rivals and Scout confirmed Nelson’s decision, with 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong first reporting the official news.
Nelson, a highly sought after three-star recruit by Scout, 247Sports and Rivals, brings great measurables at 6’2 and 190 pounds.
