The Badgers picked up a verbal commitment from a coveted outside linebacker from Big Ten country in Indiana. Noah Burks is a 6'3, 221-pound, four-star recruit by 247Sports.

The commitment of Burks gives the Badgers the fifth defensive player in the 2016 class. The talented outside linebacker should be a great fit in defensive coordinator Dave Arnada's 3-4 defense.

He had offers from Minnesota, Boston College and Maryland who was the primary competition for the his pledge.
