Wisconsin has capitalized off its first big recruiting weekend of the summer.

Honolulu (Hawaii.) St. Louis outside linebacker Nick Herbig announced his commitment to the Badgers on Monday, coming off his official visit over the weekend.

"Honestly, I had high expectations for the visit and I was surprised," Herbig told 247sports' Blair Angulo after the trip. "It was really special. The culture up there is amazing and what really stood out to me, aside from the great staff, is that all the players love each other. They aren't in it for themselves. It's about the program and the team, and you can get that vibe just walking around the campus.

"My host was Chris Orr, the middle linebacker, and it was great getting to know him and see how they do things there. They see me fitting into that T.J. Watt role at 'backer, where I can pass rush but also cover down field and be versatile. The visit was great."

The four-star linebacker chose UW over UCLA, Washington, Stanford, USC, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Nebraska, and more.

Herbig was recruited by assistant coaches Bobby April III and Inoke Breckterfield. He is the nation's seventh ranked outside linebacker and No. 102 ranked player overall in the class of 2020 per 247sports.

Below is the 247sports evaluation of Herbig:

"Strong frame with projectable length and room to add muscle. Impressive pass-rusher off edge. Thrives in aggressive role where speed is a factor. Consistently pressures the quarterback in blitz packages. Can dip his shoulder and use technique to turn the corner. Agility to track down ball carriers in the flats. Sound tackler that cleans up in the box.

"Alert and instinctive in coverage, but could refine drop back footwork. At times too antsy to make plays and gets caught over pursuing. Chance for early impact and multi-year starter at Power Five level. Upside as NFL Draft Day 2 selection."

Wisconsin now has nine commitments in its 2020 recruiting class. Stay tuned for more on Herbig's pledge.
