The prized recruit of the 2026 class for Luke Fickell has been 4-star running back Amari Latimer. He was the prized jewel in a class that lacks the big fish. Yet, for months, he's been rumored as a likely flip candidate, whether it was to Ohio State or Tennessee, the writing was on the wall. Then on signing day he had yet to flip and hope was renewed until rumors came along that West Virginia entered the bidding war and may have won it.
Ultimately, that's what happened for the 4-star running back. He's off to play for Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia, and the bad news is, it may end up being a double-blow for Wisconsin and Luke Fickell.
