Wisconsin football in contention with several Big Ten, SEC programs for top 2026 WR target
Wisconsin football made the top seven for class of 2026 wide receiver Zachary Washington on Thursday.
The Badgers were included with West Virginia, Kansas State, Michigan State, Missouri, Ole Miss and Indiana.
247Sports currently lists the Wheaton, Illinois, native as a three-star recruit. He is specifically ranked as the No. 639 player in the class of 2026, No. 100 wide receiver and No. 14 recruit from his home state. The service reports that the wide receiver has four notable official visits scheduled: Wisconsin on May 30, Michigan State on June 6, West Virginia on June 13 and Indiana on June 20. It has yet to release a prediction for his commitment decision.
On3, meanwhile, lists the Badgers as the current favorites at 51.9%, followed by Michigan State at 23.1%. Wisconsin will get the first in-person pitch during its loaded May 30 official visit weekend. Badger fans will hope that the 6-foot-2 wideout commits before visiting the rest of his finalists.
Wisconsin's class of 2026 sits No. 43 nationally with six players committed. Three-star Tayshon Bardo is the group's only wide receiver.
