Football: Five-star Rucci chooses Badgers

Nolan Rucci, Son of former NFL guard Todd Rucci and brother of current Badger Hayden Rucci, has announced his commitment to Wisconsin.

Rucci is a 6’8”, 295-pound offensive tackle from Warwick High School in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Rucci is a five-star recruit who ranks fifth among offensive tackles in the country’s 2021 class, according to 247 sports.

Not only is Rucci the top player in Pennsylvania, but he also ranks as the No. 14 overall prospect in the class of 2021. He is only the fifth five-star to commit to Wisconsin since 2000, and just the second five-star to commit to the Badgers, along with 2019 offensive tackle Logan Brown.
