Wisconsin earned a pledge from who is now the highest-rated prospect in the badgers’ 2024 class Wednesday.

The player in question is 4-star defensive lineman Ernest Willor, who committed to the Badgers over Miami and Ohio State on the first day of the Early Signing Period.

Willor hails from Baltimore, Maryland and attends Concordia Prep. The 6-3, 255-pound lineman also plays basketball and is considered to be the No. 116 overall prospect in the country, as well as the No.17 DL and No. 2 prospect out of the state of Maryland.

Wisconsin now has pledges from 4 players inside the top 200 per 247Sports. Joining Willor are 4-star RB Dilin Jones, 4-star DL Dillan Johnson and 4-star OT Kevin Heywood.

The Badgers hold commitments for 2 linemen outside of Willor and Johnson: 4-star Edge Anelu Lafaele and 3-star Hank Weber out of Nashville.
