The commitment comes on the weekend of the defensive lineman's official visit to the school.
The Badgers' staff has performed well during official visits. Last weekend they secured commitments from four of the six available targets that were on campus for official visits, a list that included the flip of defensive back Mekhi Williams, a former Florida State recruit.
Zion comes from Desert Edge High School in Goodyear, Arizona. It is the same school Nathan Jones, a linebacker who committed last week, attends. Badgers redshirt sophomore Jon Jon Kamara is also an alum of the school.
