Potomac (The Bullis School), Md., safety/athlete Patrick Johnson committed to Wisconsin on Wednesday following an unofficial visit to Madison, he announced on Twitter.
Johnson was widely pegged as a favorite to pick to the Badgers after his visit was reported earlier this week. The three-star athlete from the Washington D.C., area also held offers from Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Rutgers and others. He had narrowed his top choices to Wisconsin, Georgia and Pitt.
A 6'0, 185-pound athlete, Johnson could be considered a replacement for Craig Watts, who decommitted from the Badgers earlier this month.
