Patrick Johnson II was a highly sought after athlete from the state of Maryland, however ultimately decided on Madison. He'll likely play defensive back for the Badgers, both cornerback and safety are in play here. With the attrition from this graduating class to the secondary, don't be surprised if Johnson were to see the field early for the Badgers in 2016.
