Wisconsin loses 2025 offensive tackle to midwestern rival

Wisconsin loses another recruiting battle to Marcus Freeman

Class of 2025 offensive tackle Matty Augustine committed to Notre Dame on Tuesday.

Wisconsin had heavily pursued the Connecticut native — and was one of his five finalists as of late last week. Augustine chooses the Fighting Irish over Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin.

Augustine is a three-star recruit according to 247Sports, ranked as the No. 394 player in the class of 2025, No. 32 offensive tackle and No. 4 recruit from his home state of Connecticut.

The offensive lineman joins a class of 2025 at Notre Dame which currently ranks No. 1 nationally at this early stage in the process. Wisconsin’s for reference, is inside the top 10 despite none of its seven commitments being blue chip recruits.
