Since Barry Alvarez arrived in Madison, it's been a big priority for Wisconsin to keep their top talent at home. In the 2021 class, the Badgers have now landed the top five players out of the Badger State.

On Monday, Muskego (Wis.) 2021 safety Hunter Wohler announced his commitment to UW, a pledge that was made on Thursday following an unofficial visit.

The four-star safety chose Wisconsin over Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, Minnesota, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, and more. Wohler is the first four-star safety prospect to come out of the state in the internet rankings era.

A first-team All-State selection as a junior, Wohler racked up 122 tackles and two interceptions while leading Muskego to the Division 1 state championship.

Wohler, the nation's seventh ranked safety, is already the eighth commitment for the Badgers in their 2021 recruiting class, a group that ranks top 10 nationally and first in the Big Ten Conference.

Stay tuned for more on Wohler's commitment to Wisconsin.
