Badgers coaching staff addresses recent de-commitments

The Wisconsin Badgers had a tough week when it came to the 2025 class last week, as they saw multiple de-commitments, with three-star defensive lineman Torin Pettaway flipping to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, while four-star athlete Cody Haddad re-opened his recruitment.

Haddad’s decision wasn’t much of a surprise, as the Ohio native had been receiving increased interest from Ohio State, taking multiple visits and earning an offer from the Buckeyes since committing to the Badgers.

However, Pettaway’s de-commitment and flip to Minnesota was viewed as a large surprise, given the in-state ties and the timeframe in which it occurred.
