That ranks inside the top 20 of the country, and the Badgers have also loaded up at several positions, representing a stark difference from the 2026 class, […]
Earlier this month, four-star cornerback Mekhi Williams became one of the biggest recruiting wins of all time for the Wisconsin Badgers, being their highest-rated defensive back commit in 26 years. This week, he hit the headlines for a completely different reason: a highlight reel play in 7-on-7s that went viral and caught the eyes of […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are expected to look far different on the field in 2026, as they brought in over 30 transfers to improve the roster, with quarterback Colton Joseph being the top newcomer. But, even with the amount of change across the board, it’s not the offense that’s expected to lead the way for the […]
The Wisconsin Badgers made some major headway this month at receiver in the 2027 class, landing four-star Jai Jones and three-star Steele Harris to form the foundation for wideouts coach Ari Confesor’s first cycle in Madison. Well, they may not be done yet, as they look ahead to the Fall for a potential offer. One […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had another eventful offseason, as they saw the departure of several key players from their 2025-26 roster. Nick Boyd, Andrew Rohde, and Braeden Carrington all ran out of eligibility, while John Blackwell and Aleksas Bieliauskas were among those entering the transfer portal. As a result, Wisconsin had to reload using the portal […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are expected to play an exhibition game against the UW-Green Bay Phoenix, Green Bay head coach Doug Gottlieb revealed on a radio appearance on Wednesday. “The contract is not signed for the game,” Gottlieb said, via Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s John Steppe. “But verbal contracts are binding contracts, right?” The game has been […]

The Big Ten opponents have dropped for Greg Gard’s 2026-27 Wisconsin Badgers, and game one is just over four months away, so the doldrums of early summer seem like a perfect time for a ridiculously premature series of guesses about how the upcoming season will go. Let’s get right to it, shall we? Best Case Greg Gard doesn’t rebuild, he reloads. […]
The on-field action has dwindled for the Wisconsin Badgers, as we now await Fall camp in the summer before the season starts. Of course, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t busy. Instead, the Badgers have had quite the month when it comes to high school recruiting, closing on their targets at an exceptional rate in […]
The 2026-27 season is still quite a while away, but the Wisconsin Badgers may have their opponent for the season opener in place.

It’s no secret that the Wisconsin Badgers have a very crucial year ahead of them this season. After three disappointing campaigns under head coach Luke Fickell, which included the program’s first losing seasons since 2001, the athletic department made a significant investment in the football team this offseason. As a result, the Badgers were big […]
It seems like Luke Fickell is bringing in a new prep commitment every day, and there’s likely still more to come for the Wisconsin Badgers much-praised 2027 class, which currently sits at No. 13 nationally in the 247 Sports rankings.
