Wisconsin is adding another piece for the 2023 cycle and the first recruiting class of new head coach Luke Fickell. This time, it comes from an interesting dual-sport athlete out of Connecticut.
The player is Christian Alliegro, a 6-foot-3 and 220-lb. prospect out of Avon, Connecticut. Alliegro was previously a DI commit for lacrosse but took a post-grad year to focus on football.
Now, he’s committed to the Badgers:

According to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings, Alliegro is a 3-star prospect and the No. 85 LB in the country. He is also rated as the No. 7 player out of Connecticut for the cycle.
Minnesota, Maryland, Rutgers and Nebraska were other B1G programs with offers extended to Alliegro.
