I want to thank basha football and basha high school. I want to thank Coach Kelly for everything. Lastly my family.

The three-star recruit is ranked as the No. 11 player in the state of Arizona and the 49th-best interior offensive lineman in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Durand, listed as 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, chose Wisconsin over scholarship offers from Cal, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa State, Utah and others. He visited Madison for spring practice in March and is due to return for his official visit in June.

He joins Illinois linebacker Tyler Jansey as coach Paul Chryst’s first two commits in the 2023 class.
