Wisconsin makes final schools for top class of 2026 offensive lineman
Wisconsin made the top five schools for class of 2026 offensive lineman Tyler Merrill on Saturday. The Badgers made the list along with Notre Dame, Clemson, Penn State and Alabama. Related: Power ranking all 18 Big Ten football programs after the 2024 season 247Sports ranks the four-star prospect as the No. 87 player in the class of 2026, the No. 7 interior offensive lineman and the No. 2 recruit from the state of Pennsylvania. The recruiting service has yet to issue any predictions for his landing spot. On3's prediction machine, on the other hand, gives Notre Dame a 76.2% chance to land his commitment. Notably, longtime Wisconsin assistant Joe Rudolph currently coaches the Fighting Irish offensive line. Wisconsin currently has one player committed in the class of 2026: three-star interior offensive lineman Benjamin Novak. That is the case after quarterback Jarin Mock decommitted following changes to Wisconsin's offensive staff. Luke Fickell and his staff are working to continue a strong run on the recruiting trail. The program finished the 2024 cycle at No. 25 in the nation (with a Blue-Chip Ratio of 50%), then finished 2025 at No. 29. The Badgers have done well to make Merrill's final schools. They now will face significant competition to land his commitment.
