This story was updated to add new information.
Wisconsin football officially signed its class of 2026 on Wednesday.
The program inked 13 recruits at the start of the 2026 cycle’s Early Signing Period. That group currently ranks No. 77 nationally and No. 15 in the Big Ten, a significant drop-off from the top-25 ranking the program held at the conclusion of each of the last two cycles.
Arguably, the biggest Wisconsin-related story from the day is who the program didn’t sign. That is four-star running back Amari Latimer, who was a last-minute flip to West Virginia. Latimer was the Badgers‘ highest-ranked commit in the class; he was its only remaining blue-chip prospect after wide receiver Jayden Petit’s recent flip to Oklahoma. While Latimer’s commitment appeared far from secure through most of the fall, the flip is still a big loss for Wisconsin in the class.
As the Badgers work to put a few finishing touches on their incoming high school group, here is a full list of who the program has signed so far.
(Update: Wisconsin flipped safety Kah’ni Watts from Houston on Thursday, pushing its class to 14 total commits)
