Top junior college linebacker
Will Honas said Wednesday morning he might still sign with a four-year school this week. If he does, the Butler County (Kan.) Community College star will pick between offers from Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas State.
But there's a recent Wisconsin offer — which came after Honas visited Nebraska last weekend — that thickens the plot.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder — ranked as the top inside linebacker in the JUCO ranks — could visit UW just before the junior college early signing period ends Jan. 15. Because the Badgers don't start school until Jan. 23, Honas would still be able to enroll in school and not miss a day.
Nebraska starts school on Jan. 8. The last day to register for a full load of spring semester classes is Jan. 16. Iowa starts class on Jan. 16.
So if Honas visits Wisconsin in mid-January, advantage Badgers and Hawkeyes.
