The University of Wisconsin’s 2020 linebacking class is already formidable, highlighted by in-state linebacker Cole Dakovich, four-star linebacker Nick Herbig, three-star linebacker Jordan Turner joining Monday and three-star linebacker Malik Reed joining today.

But it’s evident that the Badgers want more depth for the middle of the 3-4 defense.

One of Wisconsin’s highest-profile targets in the Midwest, St. Paul (MN) Minnehaha Academy linebacker Kaden Johnson gave his official visit to Wisconsin positive views on social media Monday, going so far as to retweet himself Tuesday.

It was the first official visit for Johnson and his third trip to Wisconsin. He holds numerous Power-Five offers, including Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern.

A 6-4, 220-pound senior, Johnson is ranked by Rivals as the top prospect in the state of Minnesota’s 2020 class and the No. 133 prospect in the country. He finished his junior season with 75 tackles including 22 for loss and 8.5 sacks.

The Badgers currently have 11 commitments in the 2020 class.
