Wisconsin misses out on 2022 DL Felix Hixon after making his top 5

Wisconsin is hot on the recruiting trail right now, though they just missed on a DL that had them in his top schools

Well, Wisconsin’s string of receiving a commitment from every recruit that attended an official visit has ended.

The program is still red-hot in the class of 2022, now with 11 total commits in the class and the No. 29-ranked class in the country.

But earlier today they missed on three-star DL Felix Hixon, a player that included the Badgers in his top 5 just a few days ago.

Earlier today, Hixon committed to play for Shane Beamer and the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Hixon had dueling crystal ball predictions between South Carolina and Virginia. Although Wisconsin received an official visit and was included in his top 5, the sentiment was the Badgers weren’t the frontrunner to land a commitment.

Focus now turns to the rest of the class of 2022, most notably the top in-state talent, as the Badgers look to round out their class and continue their rise in the national ranking.
