Wisconsin Football Lands Commitment from 2024 DL Hank Weber
Greg Scruggs lands his first DL commit of the 2024 cycle.
Madison, Wis. -- In need of a serious revamping of the defensive line, the Wisconsin football coaching staff knew these next couple of weekends would be huge for the future of the defense.
The first domino of that DL revamp fell on Monday when the Badgers received a verbal commitment from 2024 three-star defensive lineman Hank Weber out of Brentwood, Tennesee, following an official visit to Madison this past weekend.
According to 247Sports, Weber is the No. 99 DL in the country and the No. 37 player in Tennessee. The three-star recruit chose Wisconsin over offers from North Carolina, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Purdue, Virginia Tech, and several others.
"Wisconsin had everything that I was looking for in a college and program," Weber said. "The defense that coach Mike Tressel runs was appealing because of how aggressive it is. And I've been told that coach Fickell sometimes likes to lead the defensive line meetings. That was a huge deal for me."
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive prospect is Greg Scruggs' first commit in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
Scouting Report
Hank Weber is, by my evaluation, a solid but unspectacular prospect. That's not to say I'm writing him off, though.
