BREAKING: Wisconsin lands commitment from 2025 OT Cam Clark

Wisconsin adds another class of 2025 commitment

Wisconsin football landed a commitment from class of 2025 offensive tackle Cam Clark on Thursday.

Clark is a three-star on 247Sports.com, ranked specifically as the No. 77 offensive tackle in the class and No. 24 recruit from his home state of Michigan.

Wisconsin edges Kentucky to earn Clark’s commitment. Other programs on his offer sheet include Army, Kansas, Minnesota, Cincinnati, West Virginia and Duke.

Of note, the offensive tackle does have a visit to Kentucky scheduled on June 14.

Clark is the ninth commitment in Luke Fickell’s class of 2025 and second offensive tackle — joining three-star Michael Roeske. The group ranked No. 21 in the nation before his addition, so expect that ranking to rise with the group back up to nine players.

Wisconsin football top 2025 offensive tackle target commits to Missouri

Another top target is off the board, this one to Missouri:

Lange is 247Sports’ No. 116 player in the class of 2025, No. 11 offensive tackle and No. 1 recruit from his home state of Missouri.

The top tackle has an official visit to Wisconsin scheduled on May 31. That is in addition to one to Missouri on June 7, to Michigan on June 14 and to Nebraska on June 21. We will see if those visits stay as his recruiting process continues.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 21 in the nation with eight total commitments. The class has only one offensive tackle committed — three-star Michael Roeske.

Lange was the second tackle with Wisconsin in his final schools to commit elsewhere on Wednesday, joining North Dakota native Jack Shaffer.

Luke Fickell and his staff are in need of a few recruiting splashes as they look to replicated an impressive class of 2024 recruiting effort.

Wisconsin football loses class of 2025 offensive tackle target to Iowa State

Wisconsin football loses 2025 OT target to Iowa State

Wisconsin football offensive tackle target Jack Shaffer committed to Iowa State on Wednesday. Shaffer is a three-star recruit in the class of 2025.

Shaffer had included the Badgers in his final five schools along with Iowa State, Duke, Kansas State and North Dakota State.

Related: Wisconsin football 2024 spring transfer portal window tracker

The Bismarck, North Dakota, native is 247Sports’ No. 64 offensive tackle in the class of 2025 and No. 2 overall recruit from North Dakota. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound tackle was an all-state selection following his junior campaign at Bismarck High School.

The Badgers offered Shaffer after his unofficial visit on April 12, though they apparently had an uphill battle to fight for his commitment.

He commits to an Iowa State program that went 7-6 in 2023.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 ranks 21st in the nation with eight commitments. Michael Roeske is the only offensive lineman in the group.

Time remains in the cycle for Luke Fickell to replicate an impressive class of 2024 output.

Wisconsin football a finalist for a four-star 2025 offensive tackle

Four-star offensive lineman includes Wisconsin in top 5 programs

Wisconsin football made the top five schools for four-star class of 2025 offensive lineman Logan Powell on Tuesday. Powell is a junior at Brophy College Preparatory School in Phoenix, Arizona, and is still months away from a college decision

In total, the 6-foot-4, 280-pound athlete received 25 Division 1 offers — so Wisconsin being in his top five is certainly notable. Head coach Luke Fickell and new offensive line coach A.J. Blazek will need to compete with Alabama, Arizona State, Oklahoma and Tennessee to reel in Powell their 2025 class.

It should be noted that nine other Big Ten programs offered the offensive tackle, including Michigan, Oregon, USC and Washington.

In the class of 2025, Wisconsin has already secured the commitment of three-star offensive tackle Michael Roeske (Wautoma, WI), while Powell would become the highest-rated recruit of the group if he picks the Badgers.

Wisconsin Badgers top class of 2025 OL target announces commitment date

Wisconsin was among the top tackle’s final schools in February along with Nebraska, Missouri, Notre Dame, Ole Miss and Michigan. 247Sports does not have any crystal ball predictions listed, but Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri and Nebraska are considered the favorites.

Lange is scheduled to officially visit the Badgers on May 31.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 21 in the nation with eight total commitments. The class has one offensive tackle committed — three-star Michael Roeske.

A commitment from Lange would be a first big recruiting win for Fickell and his staff in the class — that after finishing the 2024 cycle with an impressive group.

Wisconsin class of 2025 OL target to announce commitment Wednesday

Wisconsin class of 2025 OL target to announce commitment Wednesday

Three-star class of 2025 offensive lineman Jack Shaffer will announce his collegiate commitment at 2:30 p.m. central, 3:30 p.m. eastern on Wednesday, April 24.

The Bismarck, North Dakota native is down to five schools after receiving offers from six programs. Wisconsin, which extended an offer to Shaffer on April 12, is a finalist alongside Iowa State, North Dakota State, Duke and Kansas State.

247Sports ranks the three-star as the No. 64 offensive tackle in the class of 2025 and No. 2 overall recruit from North Dakota. At 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, Shaffer was an All-State selection following his junior campaign at Bismarck High School. 

The talented offensive lineman is a multi-sport athlete as well. He is an accomplished track and field athlete and also posted multiple double-doubles throughout his junior season on the basketball court.

His offers first arrived in August of 2023, before his recruitment cooled off until January 2024 when North Dakota, Duke, Kansas State, Iowa State and Wisconsin all officially reached out towards the beginning of the calendar year.

Shaffer unofficially visited UW on April 12 and received an offer thereafter. 247Sports does have a crystal ball for the offensive lineman to choose Iowa State.

 

With versatility in multiple sports, Shaffer would be a solid fit for a program with a history of developing its lineman into NFL staples. Swift footwork and agility in basketball certainly translates to the line, and Shaffer possesses it.

247Sports had listed the Badgers along with the Tar Heels as the favorites to land the top-ranked defensive lineman. He is ranked as the service’s No. 381 player in the class of 2025, No. 42 defensive lineman and No. 3 recruit from his home state of Kentucky.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 ranks No. 20 in the nation with eight players committed. Defensive line remains one of the thinnest positions on the roster as Luke Fickell, Mike Tressel and Phil Longo continue to work to install their respective systems.
