In a turn of events, the Wisconsin Badgers are losing one of their commits, as the Ole Miss Rebels have flipped 2026 three-star defensive lineman Carmelow Reed following an official visit this weekend.

Reed, a 6’7, 250-pound defensive end, had committed to Wisconsin back in early April. However, his recruitment continued to grow, as schools like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, and LSU all offered in March.

Of the bunch, Ole Miss stood out, getting Reed’s first official visit this weekend, which brewed trouble. Now, the Illinois native has committed to head coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels, and he won’t be taking an official visit to Wisconsin this weekend, according to 247Sports’s Allen Trieu, closing that door.
