Three-star cornerback decommits from Wisconsin
Austin Alexander has decommitted from Wisconsin's 2024 recruiting class
Yesterday morning, Wisconsin football had two verbal commitments in its 2024 recruiting class. That number was cut in half yesterday evening, leaving four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer as the sole commit. Austin Alexander, the first recruit to verbally commit to Wisconsin in its 2024 class, decommitted from the Badgers following a few new scholarship offers received last week. Alexander is a three-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
The Illinois native has five total FBS offers, with three of them coming since Monday. This week, Northern Illinois, USC, and Iowa State extended offers to Alexander.
The 6'1" 165-pound prospect committed to Wisconsin on October 31st, 2022, while Jim Leonhard was interim head coach. Alexander's relationship with the Badgers' previous staff significantly influenced his decision to commit. "When I originally committed, it was because of the staff that was there before, and then everything happened so fast," he told 247Sports.
