Latimer is also tabbed as the No. 19 ranked running back in the country and the No. 26 ranked prospect in the state of Georgia.
Winning a huge recruiting battle for Latimer in June, Wisconsin beat out Georgia, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, Oregon, Florida, Penn State, Auburn, Texas, Florida State, Miami (FL), and many more for the four-star tailback.
“By the last day, I was like, ‘Yeah this is definitely the place,” Latimer told Badger Blitz. “Just the way they treated me, the way the players talked about the coaches, and things of that matter. They’re going to coach you hard, what you see is what you get, and they’re gonna push you to be the best you can be.”
