The St. Petersburg Times reported Monday that Conor O'Neal, a 6'3'', 235-pound defensive tackle from Lithia, Fla. (Newsome) has verbally committed to Wisconsin.
Don't get him confused with Conor O'Neill, a linebacker from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. who has also given Bret Bielema a verbal commitment.
Imagine those two on the field at the same time: "Conor O'Neal and Conor O'Neill combine for the tackle. Really it was O'Neill with an "I" who forced the pressure, while O'Neal with an "A" came and cleaned him up."
