to the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday didn't stop Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers from impressing a key recruiting target. Oregon State cornerback commit Donovan Dunmore took an official visit this weekend, and it swayed him enough to flip his commitment to Wisconsin.
I want to thank Oregon State University for recruiting me and having the interest and belief in me to help their program but after much thought and many conversations with my family, I will be flipping my commitment to The University of Wisconsin!The three-star recruit from Fresno, California had previously committed to the Beavers back in June but had multiple suitors attempting to sway him. It says a lot about this coaching staff's recruiting chops that they could flip a committed prospect on the weekend the team played its poorest game of the season.Dunmore is ranked as a Top 75 cornerback recruit in the country by ESPN and a Top 60 player in the state of California by Rivals. He and Eloms could have a path to early playing time at Wisconsin, with the team currently rotating a redshirt freshman in the starting lineup. Multiple cornerbacks are set to graduate after this season. The Badgers have a pair of true freshman cornerbacks they're excited for in Cairo Skanes and Jai'Mier Scott. Add Dunmore and Eloms into the mix, and it should create plenty of competition in the defensive backfield next summer.Future Wisconsin Badgers RB puts up ridiculous stat line in high school footballLorin Cox is the managing editor of Wisconsin Badgers on SI.
