Preferred walk on at Wisconsin. Somehow they can't find room to offer Ben after his monster year. He also has a youtube video Ben Ericksen's senior highlight film.
For the second time in less than a week Greendale. e wide receiver Ben Ericksen (6-1, 180) has received a Division I-FCS scholarship offer.
In a message sent to WisFootball.net on Sunday evening Ericksen simply said, "Illinois State called me and offered me a scholarship over the phone."
The No. 35 overall prospect and No. 2 wide receiver in the WisFootball.net player rankings, Ericksen had previously garnered scholarship offers from North Dakota State and South Dakota and a preferred walk-on invite from the University of Wisconsin.
Ericksen is the sixth known state prospect to earn a scholarship offer from the Redbirds this recruiting cycle joining Arrowhead kicker Jeff Budzien, Hartford Union linebacker Tyler Dippel, Arrowhead offensive lineman Jared Volk, Milwaukee Riverside running back Ryan Givens and Medford defensive lineman Ethan Hemer.
Ericksen was named the Wisconsin Gatorade Player of the Year, WFCA first-team all-state, Associated Press unanimous first-team all-state, WFCA all-region, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first-team all-area, CNI Newspapers all-suburban, CNI Newspapers all-suburban Player of the Year, first-team all-conference and Woodland Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
He finished his senior season with 69 receptions for 1,335 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Also an exceptional track and field athlete, Ericksen finished in third place in the long jump at last year's state track and field championships with a jump of 22-07.00. He was also a sectional qualifier in the 100 meter dash (11.54) and 200 meter dash (22.85).
