Our partners over at Badger247 are reporting that Wisconsin has added to it's running back group for the 2014 class, flipping a Georgia Tech commit, Caleb Kinlaw, after he visited for the BYU game this past weekend.
Kinlaw, is a 3-star prospect out of Goose Creek, South Carolina and had offers from Clemson, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kansas Sate before choosing the Yellow Jackets.
Credit assistant coach Thomas Hammock for this one, as he visited the prospect during the last bye week and got him to take the visit.
Kinlaw was rated as the No. 44 running back by the 247composite. With his commitment, the Badgers have moved up to No. 23 in the 247 team rankings and remain at No. 3 in the Big Ten.
Should the Badgers add another commitment after this weekend's home game against Indiana, the Badgers have a good shot of moving up at least one spot in the 247 national rankings.
Badger fans should take notice of this commitment because Kinlaw is the bruising, physical back this group is missing for the future. Don't be fooled though, he has the feet and the speed to also run away from and juke opposing defenders as well.
Kinlaw is listed at 5'8 and 186lbs, but one look at his tape from this season shows he isn't 186lbs. to say the least and shows why coach Hammock made this kid a priority on the recruiting trail.
In fact, we'll let you take a look for yourself as to what we're talking about here:
