This is huge news for the Wisconsin Badgers and fans of the football program. There are very few five star recruits in the country, and Rucci might be the best lineman of them all.

He’s a freak-of-nature human being, and there’s a very real chance the left tackle is one of the first players off of the board once he’s eligible for the NFL draft.

Wisconsin is known for having huge lineman and running the ball at an elite level. That won’t change with Rucci, but he’s also going to provide Graham Mertz an eternity to throw the ball.

The left tackle is probably the second most important player on offense behind only the quarterback.

If Mertz doesn’t have enough time to throw, then he’s cooked. Well, that shouldn’t be a problem for the next several years.

I can’t wait to see what this young player does while wearing the red and white. I have a feeling it’s going to be very impressive.
