There are very few surprises in the world of major college football recruiting anymore. Usually you know who is going where before the announcement has been made and everyone is just waiting on official confirmation. Well, the Wisconsin Badgers received an excellent surprise on Friday evening when 2021 3-star CB Al Ashford III (Englewood, Colo.) out of Cherry Creek High School announced he was coming to UW by pulling out a hand sanitizer bottle with Wisconsin’s logo.
Ashford still hasn’t announced his commitment, or offer from Wisconsin for that matter, on Twitter as of this writing but Jon McNamara of BadgerBlitz and Evan Flood of 247Sports both tweeted about his commitment and the recruiting staff sent out the proverbial “bat signal” too.
