TJ Bollers to Wisconsin
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
Sounds like the system he wanted to play in and a great program. Congrats to the young man for living out his dreams! I look forward to watching IOWA compete with him.
I look forward to watching Davidkov throw his ass around.
Good for him and I hope he does well, except against Iowa.
That'll happen, because there's no way this kid is fast enough to play linebacker. He has never dominated in high school ball.
And what a drama queen... announces on Wednesday that's he's committing on Thursday?
apparently this was supposed to be in his best interest, correct? good for him on looking out for number 1, I guess.
that being said... who?

I know Iowa cooled on him.
Normally this would be a trolling attempt, haha, but I know you all stopped calling him.

It’ll be fun watching Davidkov and Colby throw him around while Goodson jukes him out of his shoes. In all honesty good luck too him except against Iowa.

Ummm...that's not even remotely accurate.
Plenty quick/fast enough to be another great edge rusher for Wisconsin.That'll happen, because there's no way this kid is fast enough to play linebacker. He has never dominated in high school ball.

Lot of competition at OLB with Badgers .
4 stars ,Kaden Johnson, Nick Herbig and (my favorite )Aaron Witt , (though they could fatten Witt up And play him at WSDE ) Preston Zachman , the 6’2 , 210 lb HS QB who ran in the 4.5’s is another possibility and this year verbals, Darryl Peterson , Ayo Adebogun ( emerging under the radar talent) and now Bollers.
Lot’s of big time talent there for Bollers to negotiate his way through, not to mention 4 star Spencer Lyttle who RS’ed the year before and is a Frosh this season too.
Badger must love him and visa versa.

Good luck to him. I think he excels there. Bummer to see him go but he’s a good kid with a bright future. Go Hawks
I think there was a mutual realization quite awhile ago that both parties (Iowa/Bollers) wanted/needed different things. Great get for the Badgers though with lots of competition for his services.
I don't hate Wisconsin ... so I can wish him well ... If he selected Big Red ... well ...
On a serious note ... kudos to TJ for having the talent to garner attention from some of the nation's big boy programs ...

Good luck to the kid. I understand wanting to play OLB in the 3-4. I also think Joe Evans would be really good in a 3-4, which is why our pass rush look last year was much like a 3-4, and probably will be this year also.
You don't root for him until the west is clinched!! You'll do as I say
Btw he'll be playing 13 games a year, he's not going to stincoln...
Don't elite D-1 players usually make 1st team All State DM Register teams? He played against relatively weak competition and never stood out.
But I can understand you're proud, Mr. Bollers.
CMC struck out this season in Iowa. But in regards to Bollers... Clone fans are celebrating he didn't go to Iowa or Nebby.
Bollers was nice tho... he stated ISU was the runnerup.
Second place is first loser. Maybe it's not even about football? That engineering degree from ISU only allows you to hold that Stop/Slow sign in construction zones.
I know I am going to regret bringing the Cornhusker fans out of the woodwork but there were quite a few of them here telling Iowa fans that Bollers was going to Nebraska.
I know because his mom. Iowa broke off contact without any explanation. He wasn't a good fit. Also from watching CCA play he doesn't dominate like I always expected. Super explosive at times but gets gassed out real quick.
I'm no Rival's scout. But I have watched him play multiple sports in high school and doesn't dominate in anything from the times I've watched him. In basketball... I saw him get blocked by the rim and fall to the fall on a run out dunk attempt. In baseball, my grandson struck him out, more than once and as a catcher... guys stole on him rather easily because he doesn't have a strong arm. In football... he plays 3A ... not exactly elite football.
He may contribute in Madison by the time he's a junior/senior.
Well then this is all the more reason that Iowa should win the national championship, and that Wisconsin should help us do it.
I’ve never seen Bollers play, but he has 10 career sacks in three seasons against pretty poor competition. I am sure the other teams are game planning against him, but you would still expect to see better production out of a 4* kid playing against small Iowa 3A schools.
I never saw him play but am going to assume that every coach in every level of college football knows more than I do about talent evaluation, especially coaches of blue blood programs he was getting offers from.
He laid out his decision and it sounds like he was well informed and Wisconsin felt right. I hope he goes 0-4 against Iowa, but otherwise wish him well in life.

I get a very Christian French-like vibe from his performance on the field.
If only he was half the athlete French was though.

As noted by others as such a high nationally recruited player you’d expect better stats. Such as Iowa’s 1st commit for 22’ in Graves. He plays one class down and has dominated. I know bollers really impressed at the camps in shorts and tshirts against top guys. Besides French reminds me of the kid from waverly shell rock who went to Nebraska year before and couldn’t even make 1st team all state. But impressed at all the summer camps.
He went to the one place that can maximize his talent.
For someone that remembers... Wasn't it young Bollers that tweeted something last winter that he wondered why Iowa coaches didn't come to one of his basketball games?
You can likely see why Hawkeye coaches backed off someone that selfish and self consumed.
I suspect Graves, the 2022 stud, will make Iowa fans say... "Bollers who"?
