The Badgers found the sixth member of their 2016 class on Monday and made some other moves as well.
Some good news on the recruiting front came across the wire on Monday afternoon when the Wisconsin Badgers received their sixth verbal commitment for the 2016 recruiting class. Defensive end Tyler Biadasz from Amherst, Wis. (woo, go Central Waters Brewing!) announced on Twitter that he was staying home and joining Wisconsin.
The unranked junior is already Big Ten-ready size-wise (6'4, 270 pounds) and a few years in a college weight program could develop him into a massive space eater along the defensive line.
Taylor trending towards Wisconsin; Sutton loved Madison
Four-star running back/athlete A.J. Taylor (Kansas City, Mo.) continues to trend toward the Badgers, with 247Sports recruiting analyst Tom Loy changing his pick to UW on Monday afternoon. Needless to say, Taylor would be a huge get for the Badgers.
Three-star linebacker Tymar Sutton was in Madison on Monday and had a "really nice" visit to the isthmus ($). The McKeesport, Penn. native has offers from Illinois, Maryland, Pitt, Penn State, West Virginia and Virginia Tech among others. If the Badgers can get him on campus again, they could have a solid chance of prying him away from WVU, the current favorites to land Sutton's services.
Pennamon announces top 10
Three-star cornerback Ke'Shan Pennamon out of Jacksonville, Fla. (University Christian), unveiled an emoji-filled and somewhat confusing top 10 on Monday.
Wisconsin was listed third behind fellow Big Ten school Rutgers and two-win, MAC bottom-feeder Kent State. Nebraska, Colorado, Georgia Tech and West Virginia all made the cut as well, with Mercer garnering "honorable mention" status.
The Badgers offered the 5'10" defensive back in April and should be in this race right until the very end. His Hudl tape shows a willing tackler, an instinctive blitzer and a dynamic kick returner.

The 6'2 safety from Norco, Calif., added a Badger offer to his impressive list on Sunday. Troy Dye holds offers from a good portion of the Pac-12, with Oregon appearing to hold the edge for the 247Composite three-star player.
Dye's Hudl video shows an athletic ballhawk who has the frame to grow into a linebacker hybrid type, similar to Michael Caputo.
Jones picks Michigan State
Badgers target Naquan Jones (Evanston Township, Ill.) announced on Monday that he'll be joining an impressive class of defensive lineman at MSU in 2016. It was the fourth defensive lineman commit in four days for the Spartans, who will be looking to prove they weren't just great on defense because of Pat Narduzzi.
Glackin picks Northwestern
At one point, Wisconsin looked to be in good shape for Lebanon (IMG Academy), Ohio, outside linebacker Jango Glackin. But after his visit to Madison didn't clinch his commitment, the window stayed open for other schools like Northwestern. Indeed, the three-star, No. 48 outside linebacker by 247Sports' composite rankings is headed to the Wildcats. He's Northwestern's sixth commit in three days.
