The Badgers could be adding another speedster to the mix soon after a big de-commitment.
The Wisconsin Badgers have enjoyed a strong weekend of recruiting so far, adding five players over the past few days after hosting some of their top targets on campus for an official visit.
Wisconsin picked up commitments from linebacker Ben Wenzel, tight ends Jack Janda and Jack Sievers, and defensive linemen Arthur Scott and Djidjou Bah, getting them to 11 total commits in the class. And they’re not done yet.
One sleeper recruit to watch is 2026 four-star wide receiver Zion Legree, who recently de-committed from the Ole Miss Rebels. Legree had been in communication with the Badgers well before his de-commitment, forming a relationship with new receivers coach Jordan Reid.
Wisconsin had even managed to set an official visit while he was committed to Ole Miss for the weekend of June 13th. That will stand currently, and Legree is starting to figure out the rest of his schedule now that teams are showing interest.
Currently, he is slated to visit West Virginia for the weekend of June 20th, and Florida, Miami, Mississippi State, and even potentially Ohio State could earn official visits in the future. Florida would be the team to watch, as Legree, a native of the state, would be able to stay home and play for another SEC program.
But, the Badgers have done a nice job here for the speedster, and they’ll bring him on campus for the weekend of the 13th. Wisconsin is also recruiting three-star Zachary Washington, who was on campus this past weekend, four-star Jayden Petit, who was also on campus this weekend, and three-star Owen Cabell, who is coming to campus this weekend.
There are only two more spots likely at the position, given that Tayshon Bardo is already in the fold, so it’ll be interesting to see how Wisconsin navigates the wide receiver position over the next few weeks.
