Wisconsin's staff was able to close on a key target at cornerback.

The University of Wisconsin football program has received a verbal commitment from 2025 recruit Rukeem Stroud, a standout cornerback from Tampa Bay Tech down in Florida. 

The three-star defensive back announced his decision on social media following his official visit to Madison, choosing the Badgers over reported scholarship offers from Pittsburgh, USF, Colorado, Duke, Penn State, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Illinois, and Texas A&M, among others. 

"I'm home Badger nation,!!" Stroud wrote. "#Blessed."
