Kansas City, Mo. (Rockhurst) athlete A.J. Taylor committed to Wisconsin on Saturday, as he announced in a special and uniquely elaborate ceremony, reported by Rivals.com and Scout.com.
The reason to be excited for Taylor's football upside is simple. He has the athleticism to break big plays any time he touches the ball. He has the running back vision to find creases and seams that made Badger fans wonder just what was happening with four-star standout Antonio Williams when the Badgers first started recruiting the 5'11, 190-pound Taylor. But while running back Jordan Stevenson being denied admission to the university leaves the possibility of carries open, Taylor appears set to be a weapon at wide receiver in the slot for the Badgers.
