2028 Linebacker Skylar Alston ‘Super Excited’ to Visit the Wisconsin Football Program

For Alston, visiting season has begun and the recruit is beyond ready to experience both Madison and the Wisconsin football program.

The talented 2028 linebacker was previously on campus in Chapel Hill and had the chance to participate in a workout with none other than coach Bill Belichick in attendance. When asked about the opportunity to play in front of Belichick, Alston stated, “It was surreal to meet a six-time Super Bowl Champion and to hear his feedback on how I did at camp. I will never forget it!”

Alston also earned a scholarship during the camp with UNC which added to the positivity of the experience.

Alston will go from Belichick, who has a vast professional history, to Tuf Borland, who has quite the playing history on the field. Previously Alston stated that the experience of Borland plays a role in his recruitment as the coach is a former linebacker himself. When asked about potentially playing under Borland, Alston stated, “I would love to learn from someone of his caliber!”

Heading into the Wisconsin visit, Alston stated, “I’m super excited. I have been in contact with coach Borland  a lot. I can’t wait to get there.”

The Wisconsin football program has quickly shot up the boards for Alston, but many other programs are still highly involved early on. Georgia Tech, Penn State, Louisville, and Notre Dame have all been recently tied to the recruit and could be programs to watch moving forward in the recruiting process.
