National Signing Day 2016: Isaiahh Loudermilk Joins Badgers D-Line

National Signing Day 2016 is here

The Wisconsin Badgers National Signing Day 2016 class is well underway, and the Badgers have added Isaiahh Loudermilk to their defensive line.

In addition to having an amazing name, Loudermilk is a pretty good defensive end. He’s considered a three-star prospect by 247 Sports, and the fourth best player in the state of Kansas as well as the 41st best athlete nationally.

Loudermilk will likely play defensive line for the Badgers after playing there in high school. He also played tight end for West Elk High School in Howard, Kansas.

His size – 6-foot-7, 270 pounds – will be coveted on the Badgers defensive line, and he could fit a number of positions in Wisconsin’s 3-4 defense.

As you’ll see in this highlight clip, Loudermilk is crazy athletic for a guy who’s 6-foot-7 and closer to 300 pounds than he is 200 pounds. His time as a tight end shows he has great hands, and his frame will immediately be put to use on the Badgers defensive line

Here’s his player profile, per UWBadgers.com:
