Wisconsin football landed a commitment from in-state class of 2025 athlete Mason Kelley on Friday. The program flipped Kelley from South Dakota State, to which he had committed on July 14, 2024 and signed with on Feb. 6.
The Mukwonago, Wisconsin, native is unranked by 247Sports. He is the 24th addition to Wisconsin’s class of 2025 — a group that ranks 25th in the nation and seventh in the Big Ten. Fifteen of those 24 recruits enrolled early and already completed spring practice. Kelley and eight others are set to join the program this summer.
Kelley also received offers from Minnesota State and North Dakota State before choosing South Dakota State. He will join the Badgers as a preferred walk-on, according to WisSports.net’s Travis Wilson.
The commitment arrives on the first day of arguably Wisconsin’s biggest recruiting weekend of the year: the first official visit weekend for the class of 2026. Numerous recruiting headlines for the upcoming cycle will likely follow over the next few weeks.
