The University ofWisconsin football program picked up a significant win on the recruiting trail, flipping 2026 4-star offensive lineman Brady Bekkenhuis from his long-standing commitment to Boston College.
The Arlington, Massachusetts native made things official shortly after taking his official recruiting visit to Madison — a trip that happened to fall on the weekend Wisconsin knocked off No. 21 Illinois.
Seeing that game-day environment up close gave Bekkenhuis a look at what the program is trying to build, and the Badgers walked away with an important late-cycle pickup at a position where they desperately needed some reinforcements.
