2019 TE Hayden Rucci enjoys future teammates, experiences during official visit to Wisconsin

Returning to Madison once again, 2019 tight end and Wisconsin verbal commit Hayden Rucci officially visited this past weekend.

Coming in Friday and leaving Sunday, Rucci took in meetings at Camp Randall Stadium, wore the cardinal and white jerseys. and even made a splash into Lake Mendota on a boat ride with his future teammates on Saturday.

“I was the first one to jump in because it was hot, so me and Joe [Tippmann] jumped in. Then everyone else followed us, which was fun,” Rucci told B5Q on Sunday night.

Rucci joined fellow verbal commits in Tippmann, offensive lineman Logan Brown, quarterback Graham Mertz, athlete Marcus Graham and defensive lineman Keeanu Benton —along with uncommitted recruits and Wisconsin targets Spencer Lytle and Bryce Benhart—in Madison this past weekend.
