The Wisconsin Badgers have put together a 15-man recruiting class in the 2026 cycle so far, splashing big with four-star wide receiver Jayden Petit and four-star running back Amari Latimer.
However, they’ve also missed out on a few recruits during official visits, falling short at several positions, which has led to a smaller class than usual. Now, with how the 2026 class is generally seen as weaker than recent years, the Badgers were expected to take a smaller group in this cycle.
Still, Wisconsin hasn’t gotten as many recruits as they’d have hoped in the class so far, leading to a crucial fall.
