Just because the season is here does not mean recruiting stops churning. It’s a quiet period, as Wisconsin’s class of 2024 is practically complete after the mid-summer push.
The class sits in the nation’s top 25 according to most ranking systems, led by top tight end Grant Stec, four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer and a loaded running back group.
Badger fans are rightfully excited about how the class will translate to the field in Madison to help out Phil Longo’s offense. We do get a bit of a glimpse during their high school action which is just getting underway. So after a big weekend of high school football, there are two Wisconsin commits to spotlight.

The first is four-star running back Dilin Jones from Olney, Maryland. He rushed for more than 140 yards and a touchdown for Our Lady Good Counsel High School this weekend in a contest against St. Edward…all in the first half.
Here’s his touchdown:

While full stats are not available yet for this year, MaxPreps does note that Jones rushed for 804 yards in six games last year with a yards-per-carry clip of more than nine. He seems primed for a big career in Madison.
The second spotlight today is four-star Darrion Dupree from Mount Carmel, Illinois. Dupree found the end zone several times against East St. Louis on Friday night, also showcasing what he’ll bring to Madison:
