Football: Reloading, not rebuilding: Hallman’s commitment adds to Badgers’ talented 2021 class

The University of Wisconsin football team added another asset to their 2021 recruiting class, grabbing three-star cornerback Ricardo Hallman with his commitment June 23.

Hallman, a 6-foot-0-inch, 183-pound defensive back from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, chose Wisconsin over offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Miami and Penn State. Hallman comes from a rich football lineage and is the stepson of future NFL Hall of Famer Frank Gore.

On the field, Hallman picked off opposing quarterbacks eight times during his 2019 season, collecting various accolades on the way. As a junior, Hallman was named First-Team All-State by Florida High School Football’s online website and First-Team All-County by the Sun Sentinel newspaper.
