Kobe Buffalomeat is a first-ballot National Signing Day All-Name team Hall-of-Famer. But the 2017 MVP has a worthy successor in 2018.

A year ago, Buffalomeat was the sensation of signing day when people found out about Illinois State’s offensive line signee. He even made late night television appearances.

We don’t think anyone will be making appearances on Jimmy Kimmel’s show this year but our 2018 MVP carries on the wildlife theme.

Rachad Wildgoose is a three-star recruit from Miami and signed with Wisconsin on Wednesday. He’s the leader of our defense, which is pretty stout with teammates like Habakkuk Baldonado at defensive end and Justice Dingle at linebacker. Add in Bumper Pool with Dingle in the linebacking corps and V’lique Carter with Wildgoose in the secondary and this is a formidable team. If it needs a late field goal, kicker Bubba Baxa should come through in the clutch.
