Wisconsin 2026 commit QB Jarin Mock off to strong start to junior season

Wisconsin 2026 commit QB Jarin Mock off to hot start in junior season

Wisconsin class of 2026 quarterback commit Jarin Mock is off to a hot start to his junior season with Pickerington North High School.

Mock, who offered his commitment to Luke Fickell’s program back on July 27, has accumulated 1,517 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 135.8 through eight games of his junior season. He has also rushed for 140 yards and thrown just one interception.

The 6-foot-3 product is considered a three-star recruit on both 247Sports and Rivals. 247Sports ranks the Pickerington, Ohio native as the No. 45-ranked quarterback in the class of 2026 and the No. 32 player from the state of Ohio.

Mock was the first player to commit to the Badgers in the class of 2026 before three-star iOL Benjamin Novak confirmed his commitment to UW on Oct. 7. Mock chose the Badgers over other opportunities including Central Michigan, Marshall, UMass and Miami (OH).

Given Mock’s age, he will have ample time to boost his recruiting profile and ability to read opposing defenses. When he arrives on campus, UW will likely turn to redshirt sophomore Braedyn Locke or 2024 four-star recruit Mabrey Mettauer as their starter.

Nonetheless, Mock’s output thus far should encourage Badger fans. He figures to blend in well to offensive coordinator Phil Longo’s scheme in 2026 and beyond.

Wisconsin class of 2026 quarterback commit Jarin Mock‘s stock is trending up after becoming the first member of the Badgers’ 2026 class last week.

He rose from unranked to a three-star recruit on 247Sports. That rise specifically includes an overall rating of 86. He’s currently the No. 47-ranked quarterback in the class of 2026 and No. 32 player from his home state of Ohio.

Mock is Wisconsin’s first big splash in the 2026 cycle. His commitment comes after a recent unofficial visit to the program, that after camping with the program earlier this summer. He chose the Badgers over other offers from Central Michigan, Marshall, UMass and Miami (OH).

Wisconsin’s early identification of Mock’s talent before he was even rated by recruiting services is likely an indication of a future rise in recruiting rankings.

The Pickerington, Ohio native is a rising junior in high school and still has plenty of time to raise his recruiting profile.

Wisconsin’s list of high school quarterback commits in the Luke Fickell and Phil Longo era includes Mock, Mabrey Mettauer (2024) and Landyn Locke (2025). The program is still in search of its first top-ranked QB commit since Graham Mertz in the class of 2019.

BREAKING: Wisconsin lands commitment from 2026 quarterback Jarin Mock

Wisconsin landed a commitment from class of 2026 quarterback Jarin Mock on Saturday.

The 6’3,” 190-pound quarterback is yet to receive a ranking from 247Sports, Rivals, or On3 at this early stage in the cycle. The Pickerington, Ohio native is only a rising junior in high school entering 2024. He still has several high school seasons to gain recognition from the recruiting services and more nationwide offers.

Wisconsin was the first Power Four program to extend an offer to the under-the-radar recruit. The Badgers have now received Mock’s commitment before other programs across the sport assuredly attempt to enter his recruitment.

As mentioned, the young quarterback is the first player committed to Wisconsin in the class of 2026. His announcement comes as the Badgers continue work in the class of 2025 cycle, currently sitting with the No. 22-ranked class in the nation.

This headline also follows recent shifts within the Badgers recruiting department. Ace personnel director Max Stienecker was promoted to general manager, just as the Badgers hired Alabama recruiting specialist Brandon Rose as an assistant director of player personnel, promoted Izayah Green-May to assistant director of player personnel and promoted Jared Thompson to college scouting coordinator.

Wisconsin’s recent quarterback recruiting includes 2024 four-star Mabrey Mettauer and 2025 three-star Braedyn Locke. The Badgers are sure to continue to heavily invest in the position as the quarterback-centric Phil Longo era continues.
