All 19 verbal commits plus six walk-ons made their collegiate decisions official in joining the Wisconsin Badgers’ class of 2019 on Wednesday morning.
After UW announced all the signings and videos, it released videos from some current members of the football program welcoming their newest teammates.
A few warm messages came from outgoing redshirt seniors like kicker Rafael Gaglianone, offensive linemen Beau Benzschawel and Michael Deiter, along with safety D’Cota Dixon. You will also see appearances from running back Jonathan Taylor, center Tyler Biadasz, wide receiver A.J. Taylor, inside linebacker Chris Orr, tight end Jake Ferguson and defensive end Isaiahh Loudermilk.
