The Wisconsin Badgers have secured a commitment from 2026 four-star running back Amari Latimer, he announced on Instagram Saturday.

Latimer, who stands 6’0, 215 pounds, was Wisconsin’s top recruit in the 2026 class, regardless of position. The Badgers beat out a strong offer list for the Georgia native, who had scholarships from the likes of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Ole Miss, Georgia, Michigan, Penn State, and others.

Latimer had taken an official visit to Wisconsin during the last weekend of May, and then returned to Madison for an unofficial visit just one week later.
