BREAKING: Wisconsin top 2025 WR target Muizz Tounkara commits to Arizona

Wisconsin top class of 2025 wide receiver target Muizz Tounkara committed to Arizona on Saturday.

Tounkara is currently ranked as 247Sports’ No. 764 player in the class of 2025, No. 118 wide receiver and No. 127 player from the state of Texas. He was originally predicted to pick the Badgers back in late May. Those predictions flipped to Arizona this week as his commitment date drew closer.

The three-star wide receiver joins an Arizona class of 2025 that currently ranks No. 48 in the nation. He is the group’s 20th commitment.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025, meanwhile, has slipped to No. 23 in the national rankings after having not added a player since top iOL Hardy Watts on July 1. The program’s top remaining chances to earn commitments are with SMU commit CB Zay Gentry, and four-star DL Kade Pietrzak and four-star RB Byron Louis.

Wisconsin top class of 2025 target Muizz Tounkara will announce his commitment later today (Saturday, July 13). He will choose from one of three finalists: Wisconsin, Kansas and Arizona.

The Badgers were originally predicted to land the three-star wide receiver dating back to mid-May. That is no longer the case, as 247Sports Wisconsin insiders Evan Flood and Nick Osen both submitted recent crystal ball predictions for Tounkara to choose Arizona.

The Texas native is ranked as 247Sports’ No. 764 player in the class of 2025, No. 118 wide receiver and No. 127 player from his home state. His top three of Wisconsin, Arizona and Kansas was chosen out of an offer sheet that also includes Arkansas, Ole Miss, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Purdue and Utah

He is currently projected to join an Arizona class of 2025 that currently ranks No. 48 in the nation with 19 players committed. The Wildcats are in the midst of a transition to the Big 12 along with former Pac-12 powers Arizona State, Utah and Colorado.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 has fallen to No. 22 in the nation and No. 7 in the Big Ten after not adding a commitment since top iOL Hardy Watts on July 1. The program remains in the pursuit of remaining top targets four-star DL Kade Pietrzak and four-star RB Byron Louis.

It will need another few commitments before the cycle concludes if it is to return toward the top of the Big Ten.

247Sports does have one crystal ball prediction logged for Tounkara to choose the Badgers. It came from Badger247’s Nick Osen back on May 30, 2024. On3, meanwhile, still has several programs with good odds to land his commitment.

Wisconsin football class of 2025 WR target announces commitment date

Wisconsin football class of 2025 wide receiver target Muizz Tounkara will announce his collegiate commitment on July 13.

The three-star wide receiver’s announcement coincides with the release of his top three schools. Wisconsin, alongside Kansas and Arizona, will vie for the Texas native’s commitment in mid-July.

The decision date and top three arrive roughly three weeks after Tounkara picked up a 247Sports crystal ball prediction to land with the Badgers.

The prediction came from Badger247’s Nick Osen and was given with a ‘medium’ confidence level. Still, the forecast remains the only one on Tounkara’s recruiting profile thus far.

247sports ranks the 6-foot-3, 195-pounder as the No. 744 player in the class of 2025, No. 116 wide receiver and No. 124 recruit from his home state of Texas. The rising senior ventured to UW for an official visit on May 31 before heading to Lawrence, Kansas and Tucson, Arizona the weekend of June 7 and June 14, respectively.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 recently added four-star LB Mason Posa, four-star WR Eugene Hilton Jr. and three-star DL Wilnerson Telemaque, bringing the group’s overall total to 20 commitments. Nine of those commitments have come since the June official visit window began. The possible addition of Tounkara would bring those totals to 21 and 10 respectively.

In addition to Hilton at the wide receiver position, UW has also secured a commitment from three-star Cameron Miller.

Wisconsin football made the final three schools for three-star class of 2025 wide receiver Muizz Tounkara on Friday.

The Badgers were included along with Arizona and Kansas.

The announcement arrives roughly three weeks after the Texas native picked up a 247Sports crystal ball prediction to land in Madison.

247sports ranks Tounkara as the No. 744 player in the class of 2025, No. 116 wide receiver and No. 124 recruit from his home state of Texas. The rising senior ventured to UW for an official visit on May 31 before heading to Lawrence, Kansas and Tucson, Arizona the weekend of June 7 and June 14, respectively.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 recently took a big step forward after the recent additions of four-star LB Mason Posa, four-star WR Eugene Hilton Jr. and three-star DL Wilnerson Telemaque. The Badgers now hold 20 total commitments, five of which from blue-chip players.

The class is a successful follow-up performance by Luke Fickell and his staff after finishing the 2024 cycle with a top-25 class. The possible addition of Tounkara would only further that success.

In addition to Hilton, UW also landed three-star WR Cameron Miller in mid-May. Tounkara’s inclusion in Wisconsin’s May 31 official visit window indicates his importance to Phil Longo’s offensive unit, and his acquisition would only bolster one of the most significant position groups for the Badgers going forward.

Tounkara is 247Sports’ No. 635 player in the class of 2025, No. 102 wide receiver and No. 113 recruit from his home state of Texas.

The 6’3″ wide receiver is currently in Madison, Wisconsin for his official visit. Of note, he also has visits scheduled to Kansas on June 7, Vanderbilt on June 14 and Arkansas on June 21.

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo are still working to establish the roster after taking over for Paul Chryst after the 2022 season. Wide receiver has been a position of focus, with six transfer additions at the position over two offseasons plus several more additions from the high school ranks.

Tounkara appears to be one of the program’s bigger wide receiver targets in the class, given his inclusion in the first official visit weekend of the year. 247Sports thinks the Badgers are narrowing in on a commitment.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 19 in the nation with 11 players committed. It has landed one wide receiver so far: three-star Cameron Miller.
