Nicolas Clayton, a three-star class of 2025 edge rusher and top target for the Wisconsin Badgers football team, received a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports on Thursday.
Zach Blostein of Noles247 expects the Gainesville native to remain in his home state and commit to Florida State. Clayton announced on Thursday, via his X account, that he will make his college commitment on Saturday, June 22, at 3pm EST, 2pm CST.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound athlete compiled 51 total tackles, eight of which were missed, while recording 3.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during his junior season at FW Buchholz High School.
In its 2025 class so far, Wisconsin has received 20 verbal commitments, including 12 defensive players. Most notably, the Badgers signed four-star linebacker Mason Posa (Albuquerque, NM) and three-star cornerback Rukeem Stroud (Tampa, FL).
Considering Clayton’s proximity to Florida State, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he chose to become a Seminole, although Wisconsin shouldn’t be considered an option just yet.
