What Wisconsin’s strong recruiting weekend means for the program

It was a successful football recruiting weekend for Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers. On Sunday, the Badgers landed three defensive three-star recruits, elevating Wisconsin’s recruiting class ranking.

While the news of Carmelow Reed’s flip to Ole Miss will lower the Badgers’ recruiting ranking, Wisconsin picked up a strong three-star tight end recruit in Jack Sievers, currently the Badgers’ top overall recruit, according to 247Sports.

Luke Fickell and the coaching staff must show improvement in 2025, but his vision for the program is getting recruits to buy in. Gathering defensive line recruits was critical after missing out on Jake Johnson to USC and King Liggins to Illinois.
