Wisconsin Football Adds 4-Star Edge Rushing Target to Visitors List

Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin football program will have one of their top 2025 recruiting targets on campus for junior day in February.

Four-star pass rusher Austin Alexander out of Burlington, Kentucky, who sits atop the Wisconsin Badgers wishlist on the EDGE, will visit Madison.

According to the composite rankings, Alexander is considered the No. 286 player in his recruiting class, the No. 29 defensive end in the country, and the No. 2 player in Kentucky. Outside linebackers coach Matt Mitchell has been the leader recruiter throughout this process.

“The staff is very well put together,” Alexander told Badgernotes.
