After decommitting from UCLA, priority DL recruit sets visit for Wisconsin

Wisconsin has been recruiting 3-star defensive line recruit Yahya Gaad for months, but the Badgers mostly gave up the chase when he decided to commit to UCLA. Then the Bruins fired their head coach, DeShaun Foster, and Wisconsin, and defensive line coach E.J. Whitlow jumped back in pursuit. They now have him scheduled for a visit on October 11.

I will be officially visiting Wisconsin October 11th!
