On Monday morning, four-star cornerback Rukeem Stroud announced his decommitment from the Wisconsin Badgers and his decision to join the UCF Knights was upsetting.
Consequently, Illinois three-star Jahmare Washington is the only commit at cornerback in the cycle, leaving Wisconsin with just one cornerback in their 2025 class.
Still, the Badgers have assembled a formidable collection of defensive backs over the last two years, bringing a wealth of youthful talent to the position and setting themselves up for success going forward.
Let’s examine the distribution of cornerback scholarships awarded by the Badgers and speculate about how things might develop in the upcoming years.
Max Lofy, Nyzier Fourqurean, and RJ Delancy are the three scholarship cornerbacks for the Badgers whose eligibility is due to expire after the 2024 season.
Delancy and Fourqurean are expected to be starters or key players in the two-deep, and Lofy played a lot of nickel defense with the first team in the spring. All three of them might be big players in 2024.
Furthermore, Ricardo Hallman, who chose to stay with the Badgers for an additional year after receiving input from the NFL earlier in the spring, will be a redshirt junior in the upcoming campaign.
