The Wisconsin Badgers’ class of 2019 appears to have gained one new verbal commit to start the weekend.
Rivals/BadgerBlitz.com’s Jon McNamara first reported on Friday night that Janesville, Wis. (Craig) defensive tackle Keeanu Benton verbally committed to Wisconsin. 247Sports’s Evan Flood later reported the decision as well.
Benton is not rated by either 247Sports or Rivals, but both recruiting services list him at 6’4 and 290 pounds with offers from Wisconsin and Iowa. Rivals lists special teams coach Chris Haering and defensive line coach Inoke Breckterfield as the coaches who recruited the in-state product.
