MADISON – There are still three weeks to go until earl signing day for the 2026 recruiting class, but Wisconsin has already locked in a commitment for its 2027 class.

And let’s say he comes from pretty good stock.

Ethan McIntosh, 6-foot-7, 250-pound tackle from Verona High School, announced his commitment to the Badgers Wednesday Nov. 12 on social media.

He is the son of Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh, who was an All-American tackle for the Badgers in 1999.

In the post Ethan McIntosh made announcing his commitment he wrote:

“After careful consideration, I am blessed to announce that I will be committing to the University of Wisconsin! I’d like to thank all of my family, teammates, and coaches for all the sacrifices and guidance they have given me throughout this process, and always pushing me to be the best version of myself that I can be! ONLY THE BEGINNING‼️”

McIntosh received an offer from the Badgers in June after participating in camp at UW. He is considered a three-star prospect by 247sports and Rivals.

He received 10 other Division I offers: Colorado State, Duke, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Northwestern and Washington State.

He was a unanimous all-Big Eight Conference selection and an all-region pick this season for Verona, which reached Level 2 of the WIAA playoffs. The all-state teams have not been announced.

Chris McIntosh came to UW from Pewaukee High School. He was a captain of UW’s Big Ten and Rose Bowl championship teams in 1998 and ’99 and a first-round draft choice of Seattle in 2000.
