Where Wisconsin's class of 2026 ranks nationally, in Big Ten after Zion Legree's addition
Where Wisconsin's class of 2026 ranks nationally, in Big Ten after Zion Legree's addition Wisconsin made headlines on Sunday evening, as it landed a commitment from class of 2026 athlete Zion Legree, a former Ole Miss commit. Legree pledged to the Badgers immediately following his official visit. He became just the second prospect from either Wisconsin's June 6 or 13 visit weekend to commit, following three-star defensive back and June 6 visitor Zachary Taylor. The program previously excelled during the May 30 visit weekend, landing five high-priority prospects. Wisconsin's class of 2026 is up to 13 commitments with Legree's addition. That group now ranks No. 33 nationally and No. 11 in the Big Ten. The Badgers still trail Indiana (No. 26 nationally), Michigan State (No. 25), Washington (No. 17), Minnesota (No. 15), UCLA (No. 14), Illinois (No. 12), Rutgers (No. 10) and others. On one hand, every one of those higher-ranked classes has more players committed than Wisconsin as of June 16, which could lead the Badgers to rise once those numbers are evened out. On the other hand, Wisconsin has yet to land a blue-chip prospect in the cycle, something it must do if it is to surpass those highly-ranked groups. Focus now turns to four-star running back Amari Latimer, wide receiver Jayden Petit and several other blue-chip prospects from Wisconsin's May 30 visit weekend. Their commitment decisions will decide the trajectory of the Badgers' class as the summer months come to a close.
