The Wisconsin football staff has made the cut for one of the best defensive backs in the state of Connecticut.
Earlier this week, Charles ‘CJ’ Bell, a defensive back from Oakdale, CT, named the Wisconsin football program in his final list of schools. Bell has been an exciting player to watch in High School thus far, and now has the potential to do the same at the collegiate level. Wisconsin football joins Rutgers, Boston College, and Minnesota as the current top schools for Bell.
Wisconsin Football Makes the Cut For Talented, Versatile Defender CJ Bell

Earlier in the week, one of the top defensive backs from the state of Connecticut announced his final group of programs. CJ Bell, a four-star cornerback from St. Thomas More in Oakdale, Connecticut, dropped a list of schools he would take official visits to, and included the Badgers in his list as he continues to cut down schools. Bell currently has 14 scholarship offers, but has cut his list down to a handful of schools as visit season quickly approaches.
Bell has set three official visits thus far, according to 247 Sports, and will visit the Wisconsin football program last on June 14th. The first stop for Bell will be at Rutgers on May 31st, which is a date to watch for Badgers’ fans due to their close connection to Bell.
Wisconsin Badgers Football Eyeing Another Secondary Commitment in the 2025 Class

If there has been one member of the Badgers staff who has been working the hardest, it would surely be defensive backs coach Paul Haynes. Haynes has helped pull in major recruits in the secondary during past cycles, while also providing one of the best secondary units in college football last season. During this current recruiting cycle, Haynes has been very busy as he has landed four defensive backs thus far, with another potential commitment on the way.
In the recruitment of Bell, Haynes has led the charge and been the primary point of contact for the Wisconsin football staff. Bell still shows signs of being a raw prospect at times, but the four-star recruit would be a perfect match for both the system Haynes provides, and the team itself.
Can the Wisconsin Football Staff Secure a Commitment From CJ Bell?

For the Wisconsin football staff, landing Bell could be a tricky task given the colleges interested, but the recruit truly means a lot to program. Wisconsin has moved fast with the recruitment of Bell, and Coach Haynes in particular has set his sights on making the talented defender a Badger. Wisconsin likely could end up landing Bell based off of their perseverance and determination alone.
