Wisconsin football recruiting: Three-star punter Anthony Lotti commits to Badgers

Sound the punter commit siren!

Wisconsin's scorching recruiting streak has continued into July as three-star punter Anthony Lotti from Oakwood (West Hall), Ga., has made a verbal commitment to the Badgers.

This is another promising addition to a what has already been a very strong recruiting class. Drew Meyer will graduate after this season, so Meyer will compete with P.J. Rosowski, who will be a redshirt sophomore by the time Lotti gets on campus.

Lotti is the the No. 2 punter in the country, according to 247Sports' composite rankings. He chose Wisconsin over offers from Air Force and Boston College; Cincinnati, Georgia and Georgia Tech were also interested in him.

Lotti was a consensus first-team all-state punter by most Georgia sportswriters and averaged 45.2 yards per punt. The Badgers appear to have locked in a very consistent punter for the foreseeable future.

Lotti is Wisconsin's 14th commitment for Wisconsin's 2016 class and, obviously, the first special teams player.

Kids from West Hall... have seen him punt. Great hang time. Interesting UW recruiting around here. Some great athletes around North GA and upstate SC... interesting that they figured it out.
