One of the prospects the Badgers are eyeing is 3-star safety Jowell Combay, a safety out of Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia.
According to Nick Osen, a Badgers beat writer for 247Sports, the 6'1" safety will be in Madison June 12-14 on an official visit with the Wisconsin football team.
Recently, Combay released his final five teams and a commitment date of July 9th. The Badgers made the final cut along with four SEC teams: Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Missouri.
According to the 247Sports recruiting database, Combay is a 3-star prospect and holds offers from over 30 Division I teams, including offers from the previously mentioned top five, as well as teams like Alabama, Arizona State, Auburn, Florida, among many more.

Currently, there are no Crystal Ball predictions on 247Sports for the Georgia safety, but the On3 prediction machine gives Tennessee a 28% chance to land Jombay. Wisconsin is fourth at 13.2% behind the Volunteers, South Carolina (18.5%), and Missouri (15.9%).
The 247Sports Composite has Combay listed as the 605th-overall prospect in the country and the 47th safety in the 2026 class.
