Where Wisconsin football's class of 2026 ranks nationally entering June 14 visit weekend
Where Wisconsin football's class of 2026 ranks nationally entering June 14 visit weekend Wisconsin football enters the June 14 official visit weekend with 11 players committed to its class of 2026. That group currently ranks No. 40 overall and No. 14 in the Big Ten in 247Sports' national composite rankings. Three-star tight end Jack Sievers, three-star linebacker Aden Reeder and three-star wide receiver Tayshon Bardo currently headline the Badgers' group of commitments. Notably, the program has yet to add a blue-chip player to the class. Wisconsin's June 14 official visit weekend includes three-star wide receiver Zion Legree, who recently decommitted from Ole Miss, three-star safety Jowell Combay, three-star safety Tony Forney and three-star defensive lineman Ben Duncum, according to 247Sports. The Badgers are also still awaiting commitment decisions from top targets wide receiver Jayden Petit, running back Amari Latimer, offensive tackle Kamari Blair and athlete Jackson Ford. All four blue-chip prospects were on campus during the program's May 30 visit weekend. Wisconsin is looking to continue its two-year streak of top-25 recruiting classes. While the program's 2026 group is currently far from that pace, significant time remains before the cycle concludes.

Wisconsin football beats several Big Ten rivals for commitment from 2026 linebacker
Wisconsin football beats several Big Ten rivals for commitment from 2026 linebacker Wisconsin football landed a commitment from class of 2026 linebacker Aden Reeder on Monday. Reeder chose the Badgers over top contenders Iowa and Michigan State, according to 247Sports. His offer sheet also includes Minnesota, Cincinnati, Boston College, Indiana, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. 247Sports lists Reeder as a three-star prospect. It specifically ranks him as the No. 601 overall player in the class, the No. 51 linebacker and the No. 25 recruit from the state of Ohio. The service reports only one scheduled official visit: to Madison, Wisconsin, on June 6. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native is the Badgers' seventh commitment in the class of 2026. He is that group's second-highest-ranked recruit, behind only three-star defensive lineman Carmelow Reed. The class ranked in the mid-40s nationally before Reed's addition, though that standing is sure to rise. Luke Fickell and his staff are still looking for their first blue-chip commitment of the 2026 cycle. The program is fresh off consecutive top 25 finishes in the 2024 and 2025 classes. While it has yet to deliver the same success in the current cycle, opportunities for key commitments are right around the corner during the summer months.
