The Wisconsin Badgers football team added a big commitment on Sunday — emphasis on the big.
3-star nose tackle Jamel Howard (Chicago) pledged his commitment to Wisconsin on Instagram, making him the twelfth prospect to commit to UW’s 2023 class so far. Howard chose the Badgers over his home state Illini. Howard also had offers from Akron, Ball State, Central Michigan, Iowa State, Kent State, Miami (Ohio), Toledo and Western Michigan.
The 6-foot-3, 320 pound nose tackle from Marist High School in the Windy City will give Wisconsin the typical space-filling nose tackle needed up front in their 3-4 base defense.
