“It felt great getting that offer,” Oladipupo said about Wisconsin. “I’ve been in contact with Coach Mitchell and [Director of Player Personnel] Max Stienecker and we’ve kept in touch for a while and had talked to my coaches before they pulled the trigger to offer me.”
“They loved who I was as a person and they also loved who I was on film and how I am as a player as well!”
Oladipupo plans to make a visit out to Madison on April 25th this spring, wrapping up a busy last month that involved trips to Toledo, Indiana, Notre Dame, Boston College, and Duke.
As for official visits, the three-star outside linebacker has already set up ones with Indiana, Boston College, and Duke, while a second trip to Wisconsin is in the works for the summer.
What is the 6’3, 230-pounder looking for in his next destination?
“A school that can provide the best academics for me and also a school that I can have a great bond with teammates and also be developed into a league-ready player as well.”
