Looks like our OL is going to be really good under Cig and crew. Bostad has been on fire.

247 has him ranked as the #2 player in Wisconsin and the #48 IOL nationally.
Nice looking kid. Believe he was here for a junior day.
In the 2026 class in Wisconsin, the top five players are all offensive linemen. They know how to grow them up there.
I believe that Indiana HS had only 2-4* Rivals football players in that class
Cheese curds, sausages, brauts, beer, Culver's always a short drive away.... I can see how it happens.
As IU fball fans, we really lucked out living in this era.
You all know how much I love my Big Uglies. I am over the moon.
Norwegian and German ancestry helps.
Great area to prospect and shop for LOS.
Especially since our line coach is obviously well though of up there.
Grabbed two from there last cycle and one so far this one. That's not by mistake.
Great to get another raw boned Wisconsin Plow Horse for Bostad to work with. And don't get worried about the star rating. I grew up in Wisconsin and can tell You this. River Falls is located in the West/Northwest part of the State with very few Schools with large enrollments in close proximity. Eau Claire is probably the most highly populated City within 60 miles. So this Kid is probably in a lot of situations where He is the biggest strongest Lineman on the field Game after Game and not playing against great competition week to week. If Bostad can work with Him against better competition practice to practice and if the Kid has decent footwork, He should be fine.
...kinda my point...
I was just adding onto your point which I completely agree with.
Going against bad competition is a negative but he is obviously well thought of and a top target for a few p5 schools
He’s obviously performed well at camps to get this much interest.
Helps that Fickell has driven the program into the ground.
Yes, instate players can see where Wisconsin is now compared to where IU is now.
When they went away from the grinder type good defense, big corn fed lineman offensively..I knew they were making a mistake. They went gimmicky.
