But he realized on that drive home on March 21 that he wanted to commit to the program, and that led to a string of separate conversations with key Badgers staff Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what I did was I called four coaches, kind of to surprise them, and then I was going to surprise the staff on the day I committed,\u201d Reiter said. \u201cSo I called coach (Luke) Fickell, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.badgerobserver.com\/p\/wisconsin-football-eric-mateos-offensive-line-jeff-grimes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">coach (Eric) Mateos<\/a>, (assistant offensive line) coach Casey Rabach and (director of recruiting) Pat Lambert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI called them, and it was really cool. I all kind of texted them, \u2018You got time for a call?\u2019 So I don\u2019t know what they were expecting. When I told them the news, they were super pumped.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Wisconsin offensive line commit Cole Reiter, middle, speaks with 2027 tight end commit Korz Loken, right middle,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":572079,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-572078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=572078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/572079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=572078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=572078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=572078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
