Reactions to Jack Pugh's Commitment to Wisconsin

Hilliard (OH) Bradley tight end Jack Pugh announced his oral commitment to the Badgers on Monday afternoon, and based on social media, the football program is fired up.
247Sports' composite ratings and ESPN currently designate Pugh as a four-star talent. The former currently ranks him as the No. 326 player overall and No. 12 tight end in the country for the 2021 class.
Looking at 247Sports' standalone ratings even deeper, the recruiting service positions him in higher regard as the No. 159 recruit overall and No. 6 tight end in the nation.
Of course, some Badgers were excited by the news. Check out some reactions on social media from two student-athletes, a few 2021 commits, and even three uncommitted recruits.

What does it mean? Well, everyone will have to wait and see just what (or maybe who) is next for this class of 2021 for the Wisconsin Badgers.
