MSU target, 3-star DL Djidjou Bah commits to Wisconsin following official visit
MSU target, 3-star DL Djidjou Bah commits to Wisconsin following official visit Another Michigan State target in the 2026 class has elected to go elsewhere for his college ball. Three-star defensive lineman Djidjou Bah of Germantown, Tenn. announced his commitment to Wisconsin on Sunday night. The Badgers commitment from Bah was announced via a post on social media platform X, and came after his weekend official visit to Wisconsin. Bah holds a recruiting rating of 85 on 247Sports, and ranks as the No. 110 defensive lineman in the class. He is also listed as the No. 32 player from Tennessee and No. 1081 overall player in the country. Michigan State was recently named on of Bah's finalists, along with Wisconsin, Indiana, NC State, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, Iowa and Memphis. The Spartans were scheduled to have Bah take an official visit on June 20, but we can preassumably expect that visit to be cancelled with this commitment to the Badgers. A few other of the Spartans' targets in the 2026 class announced commitments to Big Ten schools on Sunday. Michigan State picked up a pair of commitments following this weekend's opening slate of official visits: linebacker Braylon Hodge and defensive back Brayden Thomas.

Wisconsin Recruiting Heats Up with Commitment from Bah
Wisconsin Recruiting Heats Up with Commitment from Bah originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a slow start to building its 2026 recruiting class, the Wisconsin football program is starting to heat up. Using momentum during official visits, the Badgers are starting to add players to their class. Advertisement One of those players is defensive lineman Djidjou Bah, out of Germantown, Tennessee. The 6-3, 253-pound defensive lineman is considered a 3-star prospect according to 247Sports. Bah picked the Badgers over a handful of Power 4 teams, including Iowa, Indiana, Michigan State, Northwestern, and more. He announced his commitment to Wisconsin on social media. While Bah is listed as a defensive lineman on the recruiting site, Bah's primary recruiter from the Badgers is linebackers coach Matt Mitchell. It may not mean anything, but it could also be an indicator that the Badgers are looking to use Bah as an edge rusher rather than a defensive lineman. Advertisement The Badgers already have Carmelow Reed in the class, who is also listed as a defensive lineman, but the Badgers are looking to use him as an edge rusher. Reed's commitment to the Badgers, however, may be in question after he took a visit to Ole Miss over the weekend. Bah was scheduled to take his visit before the Reed news broke. But now, Bah's commitment is looking like solid insurance for the Badgers. With the addition of Bah, the Badgers' 2026 class now stands at 10 committed players. Stay tuned, because there are likely to be more commitments in the near future. Related: Badger Commit Flirting with Rebels?

Interview with Wisconsin football top class of 2026 defensive line target Djidjou Bah Wisconsin football class of 2026 target, three-star defensive lineman Djidjou Bah, released his list of eight finalists on Friday.

Bah caught up with Badgers Wire after releasing his list of finalists. Here is what he had to say about his recruitment and interest in the Badgers: BW: You hold offers from Northwestern, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan State, and Wisconsin. What stands out to you about the Big Ten and was playing in the conference a priority for you during your recruitment? Bah: The Big Ten is the best conference in football, in my opinion. To have the opportunity to play in the Big Ten is a blessing. I do want to play in a top tier conference like the Big Ten or SEC during my college career. BW: Where do you see yourself fitting in with the Badgers? Bah: I see myself fitting in a four-man front and also playing the three technique. BW: What is one area of your game you're looking to improve? Bah: I am focused on improving my hand placement and playing more with my hands, while also having a lower pad level. BW: Do you have a biggest influence in football whether that be a parent, player, or just someone who got you interested in the sport? Bah: My biggest influence is my entire family, their input in where I decide to go means a lot. BW: Do you have a potential time you are looking to commit? Bah: I'll be committing sometime in June or July.

Three-star class of 2026 defensive lineman Djidjou Bah has narrowed his recruitment down to eight final schools: Indiana, NC State, Michigan State, Northwestern, Iowa, Georgia Tech, Memphis, and Wisconsin. 247Sports ranks the 6-foot-3, 253-pound prospect as the 148th defensive lineman in the class and the No. 60 player from his home state of Tennessee. Bah's lead recruiter from the Badgers is Matt Mitchell, who has done an excellent job with high-school recruiting in the past few months, including flipping four-star class of 2025 defensive lineman Jaylen Williams from Michigan. Advertisement Wisconsin hopes that Bah becomes the eighth addition to its class of 2026. He'd also be the second defensive lineman, joining three-star Carmelow Reed. Teams like Indiana, Iowa, and even Georgia Tech are hard to beat when it comes to college football recruiting. Still, the Badgers are hosting Bah on an official visit on May 30th and seem optimistic about winning this recruitment.
