Head coach Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers are looking to round out what is already a strong class of 2024. A barrage of commitments since the start of July has the group up to 20 players. While there is still room to add, the final class likely will not look much different than it does today.
One remaining top target to watch, though, is four-star Liam Andrews. News broke yesterday Wisconsin had made his final three schools along with Penn State and South Carolina.
He is listed by 247Sports as the No. 92 player in the class, the No. 3 interior offensive lineman and the No. 2 recruit from his home state.
While the Brookline, Massachusetts, is listed as an offensive lineman on every recruiting service, he tweeted yesterday clarifying that he plans to play defensive line at the next level.
I will be perusing defensive line at the next level. If you are a recruiting service I would ask you change my position to at least athlete or defensive line entirely.

This is good news for Fickell and the Badgers, that is if they are able to gain his commitment. The 2024 class only has two defensive tackles committed: three-star Dillan Johnson and three-star Hank Weber.
Adding a player of Andrews’ caliber to that room would ensure there would be no weak positions in Fickell’s first full cycle as head coach.
