Wisconsin Badgers football recruiting talk with John Garcia Jr. from SI - we talk about Tackett Curtis, Myles Burkett and Tyler Gant.

John gushes about the play-speed and havoc that Tackett Curtis the 4* LB from Louisiana brings to the table and why he's the type of player that can help close the athletic gap that has given Wisconsin issues playing against teams like Ohio State. We get into his play-style and his timeline for his recruitment.

We also take a look back at the 2022 football recruiting class and why Avyonne Jones is a very underrated player. We talk about the defensive backs versatility and football IQ. We also talk about the importance of recruiting kids from big-time winning HS programs. We jump into Myles Burkett and why John isn't concerned about his height.

Finally on Locked On Badgers we talk about big time DE target in the 2023 class Tyler Gant. Why his frame is college ready right now and how he's a perfect fit for the Badgers 3-4 defense. We get into his timeline and official visit list.

● This is the time of year that I’ve pretty much given up on all of my New Year’s resolutions. But not this year. I’m sticking to my resolution to eat right, thanks to Built Bar. It almost feels like it’s not really a resolution because I actually enjoy eating them.

● Have you tried the Puffs? If you haven’t you’re missing out on one of Built Bars best-tasting bars.

● Puffs are the first ever protein-infused marshmallow. They’re fluffy, they’re marshmallow-y. They’re not just a protein bar. They’re a treat. And they’re covered in 100% real chocolate.

● Puffs are a fan favorite with some incredible flavors, yummy cinnomanny-y Churro, Coconut Marshmallow, Banana Creme Pie… so good. These are going to be your new favorite.

● All Built Bars are covered in 100% real chocolate (yes, Puff’s included). 100% real chocolate!

● Low calorie, High protein. Replace your candy bars with these. They are better. A typical candy bar can be anywhere from two to three-hundred calories.
