For the junior linebacker, Colter, the recruiting process has been going great so far as he looks for the right fit with the program. Although they haven’t made an offer at linebacker yet, Colter was asked about his thoughts on Wisconsin and their staff. Colter stated, “I honestly think Wisconsin is a great school with a really good football culture.”
The linebacker also stated, “They first contacted me when I was ready to be recruited.”
As soon as the recruiting period began, the Wisconsin football staff reached out to hundreds of 2026 recruits they were scouting. Colter was one of the guys who really shined on the field last season, and the Wisconsin football staff wanted to make sure he knew he had his skills on display.
