It has been a busy summer for Crimson players, with Gunderson's teammate Finn Brink also recently announcing his commitment to the University of Wisconsin.
More commitments from players around the state will likely be announced over the next few weeks as rising juniors can begin to accept verbal offers from coaches and can schedule official college visits starting August 1.
