Former Wisconsin class of 2026 quarterback commit pledges to new program
Former Wisconsin class of 2026 quarterback commit pledges to new program Former Wisconsin class of 2026 quarterback commit Jarin Mock pledged to Bowling Green on Thursday. Mock previously joined the Badgers' class last July, back when Phil Longo was the program's offensive coordinator. Longo was then fired in mid-November after a 16-13 loss to No. 1 Oregon dropped his offense's outputs to 363.1 yards per game (91st nationally) and 23.9 points per game (98th). Mock went on to decommit from the class in mid-January after the program hired new OC Jeff Grimes. 247Sports lists Mock as a three-star recruit. He's specifically ranked as the No. 891 player in the class of 2026, No. 55 quarterback and No. 35 recruit from his home state of Ohio. Aside from Wisconsin, Purdue was his only Power Four offer. Mock's departure was part of Wisconsin's top-down overhaul of its quarterback room after Grimes' arrival. Braedyn Locke (Arizona), Tyler Van Dyke (SMU) and Mabrey Mettauer (Sam Houston State) transferred out, while class of 2025 signee Landyn Locke (Sam Houston State) committed elsewhere. The program then added transfers Billy Edwards Jr. and Danny O'Neil during the winter window, retained 2025 signee Carter Smith and landed a commitment from 2026 quarterback Ryan Hopkins. Mock now joins a Bowling Green program that has made three consecutive bowl games dating back to 2022. Entering 2025, the team is ranked No. 104 in the nation and No. 5 in the MAC by ESPN's Football Power Index. Wisconsin's quarterback recruiting in the class of 2026 appears finished with Hopkins' commitment. The Badgers' class currently ranks No. 28 in the nation and No. 8 in the Big Ten at this stage of the cycle It will be interesting to watch how Wisconsin's new-look quarterback room, led by Edwards Jr., performs in 2025. That output will inevitably be compared to how the program's former transfers fare with new programs, as well as to how Longo's Sam Houston State team performs in his first year in charge.

Cam Ward was a pudgy, zero-star QB. Now he's the likely No. 1 pick.
Before the final game he played at Incarnate Word, back when only he knew how far his right arm could take him, Cam Ward approached coach Eric Morris. They were preparing for a playoff game against Sam Houston State, annually one of the best defenses in the Football Championship Subdivision. 'If you let me throw it 60 times,' Ward told Morris, 'we'll win this game.'
