Alter’s Byers continues Knights line to Wisconsin
Cody Byers, the Alter High School safety, isn’t focusing solely on binding himself to the Wisconsin football team today. He’ll spend a majority of the school day on a senior retreat instead.
Then, Byers will sign his letter of intent and continue Alter’s line of Badgers recruits. The senior will give the Knights two consecutive years with a Wisconsin recruit, as he’ll join Chris Borland in Madison.
Wisconsin fans might be pleased to see Alter listed again among the team’s recruits. Well-known by now, Borland became a starter part way through his freshman season and was named the Big Ten’s freshman of the year after he finished fifth on the team with 54 tackles and collected five sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss. He also caused five fumbles, recovered three and grabbed an interception.
Byers, at 6-3, was the tallest player on a Knights defense that was one of the best in recent area memory. That defense required versatility, so Byers learned to play in multiple places.
There could be even another Alter player in Madison. Knights coach Ed Domsitz said the Badgers have invited receiver Connor Cummins to be a “preferred walk-on” with the program, and Cummins is weighing his options.
Two other Alter players - running back Cody Taulbee (Brown) and offensive lineman Ryan Cronin (Dayton) - are expected to play in college after helping the Knights to two consecutive Division IV state championships.
The Knights have done it the same way they play games, without much drama. That’s how Borland remembers his recruiting process:
“I’m sure like a lot of guys here, my recruiting process was a lot more low-key with not as much publicity, but it worked out and I’m really glad it did.”
If Byers produces, Wisconsin fans might demand an Alter player each season.
