Wisconsin finished second in the nation in sacks last year with 51, and that success doesn't look like it will be slowing down in the near future. TJ Bollers, a four-star defensive end and the No. 147 overall player in the Class of 2021, committed to the Badgers on Thursday over Nebraska, Iowa State and Alabama.
Bollers, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound edge threat, said that his commitment was due in large part to the relationships he has made throughout the process.
"Part of this process is the people you surround yourself with," Bollers said in a video published to his Twitter account. "Some of the people who I've been able to meet on the Wisconsin staff and in the 2021 recruiting class are people I can't wait to 'jump around' with for the next 3-5 years. On Wisconsin, baby."
Bollers hails from Clear Creek Amana High School in Tiffin, Iowa. He is the eighth-ranked weak-side defensive end in the country and the second-ranked player in the state of Iowa. 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu compared him to Detroit Lions linebacker Devon Kennard and filed this scouting report.
"Not quite as long as other top defensive end prospects, but has put time in in the weight room and has a solid muscle base," he wrote. "Good athlete who has played multiple positions and sports. Runs well and shows good foot speed in chase situations. Has played on offense as well. Is comfortable in space, and ball skills can translate over to defense if he needs to drop into coverage. Does a nice job being violent with his hands. That will be even more so as he gets stronger. Has good quickness off the snap. Mainly needs to continue to develop pass rush technique and get stronger. Weak-side defensive end in a 4-3 or potentially an outside backer in a 3-4 are his projections. He could work his way into the later rounds of the NFL draft when his college career is finished."
He is the 14th commitment and the second-highest ranked player in Wisconsin's 2021 recruiting class. The Badgers currently rank 16th nationally and sixth in the Big Ten in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings.
