Wisconsin football top-ranked class of 2027 quarterback target schedules Madison visit
Wisconsin football top-ranked class of 2027 quarterback target Israel Abrams included the Badgers in his fall visit list on Tuesday. Abrams also mentioned his intention to visit Northwestern, Tennessee, Iowa State and Purdue during his fall recruiting window, per 247Sports' Allen Trieu. The outlet notes that Abrams, who pocketed an offer from Wisconsin on Feb. 12, has received 15 NCAA Division I offers thus far. 247Sports lists Abrams as the No. 59 overall prospect, No. 5 quarterback and No. 4 player from his home state of Illinois for the class of 2027. A product of Montini Catholic High School, the 6-foot-4 playmaker threw for 2,033 yards and 29 touchdowns with just three interceptions as a sophomore en route to a state title. Here's what 247Sports' national recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna had to say about Abrams' outlook under center: "Well-built frame throughout and an elastic mover for his size. Not exceptionally twitchy but shows the ability to consistently avoid pressure and extend plays with his feet. Plays with adequate footwork but has a tendency to rely on his upper body as a passer. Over-the-top release point, not the smoothest, but effective and gets the ball out quickly enough. Displays above average to good arm promising physical tools for the position and natural intangibles of creating as a playmaker in and outside the pocket. Also flashes anticipation and ball placement as a passer. Has some really intriguing stuff to him; hard not to like the trajectory of the player." While early in his recruiting journey, On3/Rivals' recruiting prediction machine considers Iowa State the heavy favorite to land a commitment at 61.3%. Wisconsin, meanwhile, is listed at 1%. Luke Fickell's program has offered 12 class of 2027 quarterbacks, headlined by four-star Kavian Bryant. The Badgers have yet to secure a commitment for the '27 cohort, but the most pressing recruiting matters revolve around the class of 2026. UW's 2026 bunch still sits at No. 60 in the nation with 14 players committed. Following a relatively busy June, the Badgers did not see any movement in July. In a crowded Big Ten with several contending programs, that quota must increase in the coming months, if not weeks.
