Class of 2026 offensive lineman Bear McWhorter announced his decommitment from Arkansas on Sunday.
Wisconsin offered the three-star interior lineman back in March, then had him on campus for a visit during the spring.

McWhorter is ranked as 247Sports’ No. 374 player in the class of 2026, No. 30 interior offensive lineman and No. 39 recruit from his home state of Georgia. His extensive offer sheet includes Alabama, Auburn, Boston College, Cincinnati, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin.
The Georgia native’s recruitment is sure to pick up as the 2025 recruiting cycle concludes and the 2026 cycle heats up. His offer sheet tells a different story than his three-star recruiting ranking does — a story that may make him a priority for Wisconsin in the coming months.

Wisconsin’s focus is first on its class of 2025 which currently ranks No. 16 in the nation and No. 6 in the new Big Ten with 21 players committed. The Badgers are in strong pursuit of several remaining top targets, including four-star iOL Hardy Watts — who will announce his commitment on July 1 at noon Eastern, 11 a.m. Central.
