  "account": "The Wisconsin Badgers have recently secured the commitment of Jalanie George, a highly-rated defensive end recruit from Desert Edge High School in Goodyear, Arizona. George, a composite five-star EDGE, joins a growing list of top-tier talent for the Badgers. This class is already bolstered by commitments from defensive lineman Yahzeen Zion and linebacker Nathan Jones, both from Desert Edge. Now, George adds to the Badgers' impressive roster, solidifying their position among the top programs. Choicing Wisconsin over other options such as Auburn, Miami, and Washington, George's choice demonstrates the impact of the Desert Edge pipeline. Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 245 pounds, George is considered the No. 27 player nationally, the No. 7 EDGE, and the No. 3 player in Arizona, according to 247Sports.",
