Maema Njongmeta feels like he has been living on a cloud for a week.
After receiving a Wisconsin offer from inside linebackers coach Bob Bostad on Oct. 31, Njongmeta, a prep linebacker from Illinois, barely wasted any time in pulling the trigger on Nov. 3 to become one of the Badgers’ newest verbal commitments for the class of 2019.
“Committing was pretty awesome, but when they offered me, I knew right there, pretty much that was it,” Njongmeta told B5Q last Tuesday.
Hearing Njongmeta speak about the offer—his mouth dropping open, his “heart definitely skipping a beat”—the excitement of reliving that moment is still fresh.
