Hirschfeld joins his Hartland teammate, G George Panos, as members of the 2014 class, which also includes 4-star weak-side defensive end Conor Sheehy (Marquette) and 4-star tackle Jaden Gault (Monona Grove). Four-star defensive tackle Craig Evans (Sun Prairie) also remains a soft-commit.
Cornerbacks coach Ben Strickland was Hirschfeld's lead recruiter, with first-year defensive line coach Chad Kauha'aha'a getting the assist. Hirschfeld chose Wisconsin over offers from Illinois, Iowa State, Michigan State, Minnesota, N.C. State, Nebraska and Pittsburgh.
Per 247, Hirschfeld gave his commitment in-person in head coach Gary Andersen's office.
