The 19th of 19 publicly known verbal commitments for Wisconsin’s class of 2019 locked down his decision on Dec. 14, when safety Titus Toler announced he would play for the Badgers.
A former Colorado commit, Toler will be the fourth projected defensive back to join this class of future Badgers alongside cornerbacks Dean Engram, Semar Melvin and James Williams.
Toler is also prep teammates with current Wisconsin signee and early enrollee Spencer Lytle, and the duo are one of two sets of future Badgers that played high school together—joining East Kentwood’s Logan Brown and Stephan Bracey.

Verbally committed on Dec. 14, 2018
One of four flips for Wisconsin in this recruiting cycle, Toler committed initially to Colorado back in the summer. After the Buffaloes fired head coach Mike MacIntyre, the Badgers coaching staff offered the prep standout from powerhouse St. John Bosco in late November.
He officially visited the weekend of Dec. 7-9, and made it official just a few days later.
Rivals shows 14 offers for the California defensive back, including from Power Five programs like Arizona State, Cal, Minnesota, UCLA, Washington, and Washington State.
A couple of reports noted that Toler received an offer from USC, but he made it official with Wisconsin on Wednesday morning.
