Wisconsin football class of 2026 linebacker target announces commitment date
Wisconsin football class of 2026 linebacker target Mason Marden will announce his collegiate commitment later today, May 21. Marden included the Badgers as a finalist on May 5 alongside Oklahoma, Arizona State, Kansas and Michigan State. He will announce his commitment at Ladue Horton Watkins High School at 7:00 p.m. ET, 6:00 p.m. CT. Advertisement The 2026 linebacker has scheduled official visits to Michigan State on May 30, Kansas on June 6 and Wisconsin on June 13, per 247Sports. His decision will likely alter that summer slate. 247Sports considers the St. Louis, Missouri, native as a three-star recruit, the No. 85 linebacker in the class of 2026 and No. 10 player from his home state. During his junior season with Ladue Horton Watkins High School, Marden tallied 170 total tackles, 20 for loss, three sacks, two interceptions and four forced fumbles. He also rushed 15 times for 294 yards and four touchdowns out of the backfield. On3's recruiting prediction machine currently considers Michigan State as the heavy favorite to land Marden at 33.1%. Meanwhile, neither Rivals nor 247Sports has released a projection for his commitment. As of May 20, Wisconsin's class of 2026 features seven commitments. Three of those players line up on the defensive side of the ball -- three-star defensive lineman Carmelow Reed, three-star linebacker Aden Reeder and three-star cornerback Carsen Eloms. Advertisement Given Wisconsin's history in producing linebackers over the last decade, the Badgers could offer Marden an opportunity he may not discover in East Lansing, Michigan, or Lawrence, Kansas. His decision will be one to monitor this evening.
