We'll be shining some light on Wisconsin natives who put up loud numbers in 2023, showcasing their tools to our staff at PBR Wisconsin events.
These leaderboards were compiled solely based on numbers at our state events, including Preseason IDs, All-States, Open events, Scout Days, Future Games, and the inaugural All-American Game, too.
