2020 Wisconsin Boys Signed to Bemidji State, Wayne State, Augustana

In yesterday's article for PrepRedzoneWI we reviewed how the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference's competitors rightfully benefit from the unfortunate fact that Wisconsin does not have Division II football teams, how the studs who sign to the conference go on to have successful and productive careers in the conference, and reviewed the 2020 preps signed to MSU-Mankato's and UMD's recent recruiting classes. In this second edition of our NSIC review we're going to take a look at the Badger State boys signed to the Bemidji State Beavers, Wayne State College Wildcats, and Augustana University Vikings, a unique class which features transfers from the now defunct Minnesota Crookston and St. Cloud State football teams, as well as some of the best seniors from the 2019 season in Wisconsin.
