Wisconsin has landed a commitment from a Ownings Mills (Md.) McDonough School safety Eric Burrell, arguably their top overall safety prospect in the class of 2015, his coach told Badger247.

Burrell had a final five of Wisconsin, Nebraska, Duke, Syracuse, and Boston College. The four-star safety also held offers from Iowa, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, Rutgers, and others.

Burrell took his official visit to Madison for the Big Ten opener against Iowa.

"I was very impressed," Burrell told Badger247. "I liked the players, the academic support -- I'm very excited about this official. I'm very impressed by how they came out and showed me some love.

"The game -- the crowd and support is crazy. They have so many fans, they were involved with everything. That's what you want from fans.

"To be honest with you, I was impressed with everything, man."

Burrell was originally scheduled to take three more official visits to Duke, Boston College, and Syracuse, but opted to shut things down early Monday afternoon. He was recruited by secondary coach Daronte Jones.

Burrell is the nation's No. 17 ranked safety per the 247sports composite. He is commitment No. 21 in Wisconsin's class of 2016.
