Four-star guard set to announce college decision Friday

Daniel Freitag, a four-star guard from California has got his potential teams down to five, including Wisconsin, choosing his school Friday.

Daniel Freitag, a four-star point guard from Castaic, California has narrowed down his potential teams to five, including Wisconsin, and will announce his commitment Friday.

Freitag is a member of the class of 2024 and still has one more season of high school basketball at Southern California Academy. The 6-foot-2 athlete is originally from Jefferson, Minnesota, which may explain his potential attraction to Greg Gard and his program at Wisconsin.

In the end, multiple players including Tyler Wahl (Lakeville, MN) and Steven Crowl (Eagan, MN) are from Freitag’s home state. Friday’s announcement could be a massive one for Gard and his staff if they can reel in a talent as highly touted as Freitag.

Additionally, as a multi-sport athlete, he also holds an offer from the Badger football team as a four-star wide receiver.

Badgers offer three-star defensive lineman committed to Pitt

Wisconsin offered Francis Brewu, a three-star class of 2024 defensive tackle from Columbus, Ohio on Thursday.

Wisconsin offered Francis Brewu, a three-star class of 2024 defensive tackle from Columbus, Ohio on Thursday. The 6-foot-2, 270-pound athlete committed to Pittsburgh in March, but considering he’s only a junior at Thomas Worthington High School, he could choose to go elsewhere.

Overall, Brewu now has 19 Division 1 offers, including three from within the Big Ten. With Luke Fickell at the helm, the Badgers have expanded their recruiting scope to be more of a national effort, though the head coach is an Ohio native and could sway the defensive lineman to stay in the Midwest.

To this point, the Badger have gotten three defensive commitments for the class of 2024, reeling in three-star linebackers Landon Gauthier (Green Bay, WI) and Thomas Heiberger (Sioux Falls, SD) as well as three-star safety Kahmir Prescott (Philadelphia, PA).

Badgers in contact with three-star class of 2024 forward from Texas

The Wisconsin men’s basketball team has been in contact with three-star class of 2024 power forward Dillon Battie.

The Wisconsin men’s basketball team has been in contact with three-star class of 2024 power forward Dillon Battie. The 6-foot-8 athlete from Lancaster, Texas still has one more season of high school basketball before he’d potentially make the leap to the collegiate level.

Battie has received seven Division 1 offers and Wisconsin could be set to join teams like Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Texas Tech in offering him. Typically, the Badgers find most of their recruiting success in the Midwest, namely the state of Minnesota, so it’s nice to see Greg Gard and his staff widen their net.

So far for the class of 2024, Wisconsin has received the commitment of three-star forward Jack Robison from Lakeville, Minnesota.

Wisconsin offers class of 2024 cornerback from Maryland

The Badgers offered Lloyd Irvin III, a 6-foot-3 class of 2024 cornerback from Upper Marlboro, Maryland on Tuesday.

The Badgers offered Lloyd Irvin III, a 6-foot-3 class of 2024 cornerback from Upper Marlboro, Maryland on Tuesday. The 175-pound athlete does not carry an official recruit rating from 247Sports but he is teammates with four-star edge rusher Obinna Onwuka, who Wisconsin also offered.

Irvin has now received 16 Division 1 offers, including Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin from within the Big Ten. New head coach Luke Fickell and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel developed star NFL cornerback Sauce Gardner (Jets) as well as Coby Bryant (Seahawks) in their time at Cincinnati.

If Irvin were to pick Madison, he’d join safety Kahmir Prescott (Philadelphia, PA) as the second class of 2024 addition in the Badgers’ secondary.

Three-star offensive lineman has Badgers in his final three

Three-star class of 2024 offensive lineman Ronan O’Connell has Wisconsin in his final three schools.

Three-star class of 2024 offensive lineman Ronan O’Connell has Wisconsin in his final three schools. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound athlete from Franklin, Tennessee has narrowed his list to Tennessee, Clemson and Wisconsin.

The Badgers continue to churn out great offensive linemen year in and year out, so if O’Connell decided to head to Madison, he’d be making a strong decision for his professional chances. Two 2022 Badger offensive lineman are now on NFL teams with Joe Tippmann (2nd round, NYJ) and Tyler Beach (UDFA, HOU) making the step up.

At this point, Wisconsin has already earned the commitment of three-star offensive tackle Derek Jensen (Hartland, WI) as well as quarterback Mabrey Mettauer and tight ends Grant Stec and Rob Booker on the offensive side.

Sevillano Jr. has now received 27 Division 1 offers, while Ohio State and Notre Dame have established themselves as early favorites according to 247Sports. With Luke Fickell and the rest of the new staff at the helm in 2023, athletes like Sevillano Jr. could be realistic options for Wisconsin moving forward.

The upcoming campaign could put the Badgers on the map as a top program in the nation, elevating them from being one of the top programs in the Big Ten.

So far for the class of 2024, Wisconsin has gotten three commitments from three-star defensive athletes. To this point, linebackers Thomas Heiberger (Sioux Falls, SD) and Landon Gauthier (Green Bay, WI) as well as safety Kahmir Prescott (Philadelphia, PA) have picked Madison as their college destinations.

The Badgers offered Deylen Platt, a three-star cornerback from Venice, Florida on Monday. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound athlete still has one more season of football at Venice High School before he’d make the leap to the collegiate level as a member of the class of 2024.

Also amongst the schools who have offered him is Florida Atlantic University (FAU), the program that his brother Jayshon joined as a member of their class of 2022.

Additionally, Deylen Platt has experience on both sides of the ball, operating as a wide receiver on top of his work in the secondary. With Luke Fickell now at the helm at head coach, Wisconsin could become a more highly sought after landing spot for recruits moving forward.

Wisconsin offers four-star offensive lineman from Minnesota

The Badgers offered Emerson Mandell, a four-star interior offensive lineman from St. Paul, Minnesota on Thursday.

Mandell has now received 14 Division 1 offers, including seven from within the Big Ten, though Ohio State and Michigan are yet to offer him. With three-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer heading to Wisconsin in 2024, the Badgers are certainly interested in Mandell.

As a school that has produced NFL talents like hall of famer Joe Thomas, All-Pro center Travis Frederick and stars like Ryan Ramczyk on the offensive line, Mandell should definitely consider Luke Fickell and Wisconsin.

Three-star safety from New Jersey receives offer from Badgers

Wisconsin offered Raphael Dunn, a three-star class of 2025 safety from Lawrenceville, New Jersey on Sunday.

Wisconsin offered Raphael Dunn, a three-star class of 2025 safety from Lawrenceville, New Jersey on Sunday. The 6-foot-4, 200 pound athlete still has one more year of high school football, but he could be making a decision of his commitment in the near future.

Dunn has now received eight Division 1 offers, with Wisconsin joining Michigan State and Rutgers as the third Big Ten team to offer. Kentucky is the current favorite to land him and he’s set to visit Lexington in June.

Head coach Luke Fickell and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel have taken over the defense in Madison after many years at Cincinnati and a big-bodied safety like Dunn would be a great addition to the class of 2024 if they can pull it off.
