Wisconsin offers a promising class of 2027 running back

Wisconsin football extended an offer to class of 2027 running back Jance Henry Jr. on Saturday. The offer comes after he was one of many recruits to make unofficial visits this weekend.

Henry is currently unranked on 247Sports but does already have offers from Akron, Miami (OH), Pittsburgh, Toledo and UNLV. He recently took an unofficial visit to Penn State, so his offer list should heat up as his high school career continues.

The 2027 recruiting cycle is still a ways away. But Wisconsin is already prioritizing members of the class.

Focus remains on the Badgers’ class of 2025 which currently ranks No. 17 in the nation with seven commits. Luke Fickell and his staff are working to improve upon a stellar 2024 effort which saw the program finish No. 25 overall with a blue-chip ratio of 50%.

Blue-chip 2025 CB recruit talks scholarship offer from Florida

This highly-coveted in-state defensive back in the 2025 cycle is feeling the love from the Orange and Blue.

Florida football’s recruiting efforts remain in high gear as Billy Napier and his army of staffers continue their efforts to rebuild a once-proud program in the Swamp.

One of Florida’s targets in the 2025 cycle is four-star cornerback [autotag]Graceson Littleton[/autotag] out of Cocoa (Florida), who is coveted by a myriad of teams around the nation for his talents. Napier and Co. have stressed the importance of recruiting hard for in-state products and the high school junior fits that bill perfectly.

The 6-foot-180-pound defensive back recently spoke with 247Sports’ Tom Loy about his recent scholarship offers, which include the Alabama Crimson Tide, Cincinnati Bearcats, Duke Blue Devils, Florida, Iowa Hawkeyes, Iowa State Cyclones, Louisville Cardinals, Oklahoma Sooners and Ole Miss Rebels, among others.

On Florida’s scholarship offer

“(They are) are obviously showing a lot of love too. I like coach Will Harris at Florida. He’s young and very in tune. I’m going to hop on a Facetime with him. He seems like he knows a lot about the game. I’ve seen a lot of videos of him on the internet. Just like Coach Mo, he’s very interactive with his players. Recruiting summary

Official visit plans

“I haven’t set up any official visits currently,” Littleton revealed. “I’m thinking of making a decision around August. With official visits, we’re getting there. We’re narrowing it down. My goal is go to Power 5. I’m still building relationships.”

Recruiting summary

Littleton is ranked No. 276 overall and No. 26 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 218 and 27, respectively.

On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Georgia Yellow Jackets at the top of the board with a 17.9% chance of signing him, followed by Alabama (15.7%), Kentucky (13.4%) and Iowa (11.2%).

Gators offered this 2026 blue-chip offensive lineman last weekend

Saturday was a big day for this high school sophomore standout.

Florida football hosted a handful of prep prospects this past weekend as the program held its first team scrimmage of the spring season. Representatives from multiple recruiting classes were on hand to witness the early practice game, including one big name in the 2026 cycle.

Four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Johnnie Jones[/autotag] out of Tampa (Florida) Berkeley Prep was on hand Saturday to get a gander at what the Gators are currently up to. The 6-foot-6-inch, 260-pound lineman was not only able to acclimate with the staff and get more familiar with the campus during his stay, but he also received a scholarship offer from the Orange and Blue.

“It means a lot,” Jones told 247Sports’ Donavon Keiser of the offer. “I’m from Florida, and I got some loved ones that go here and some teammates that have gone here.”

Talking with the coaching staff

“Coach (Rob) Sale and all the O-line coaches,” were the members of the program he spent the most time with. “They’re great coaches, and they know what they are doing. It’s important that I see with them, that all the time they are with their guys. They’re not all over the place. They are specifically with their guys.”

And there is more to it than just those coaches on the football field.

“Just the overall aspect of the school part. What they focus on the most with their players, and making sure that once they are done here, they’re successful in life.”

Taking in the team’s scrimmage

“It was amazing,” Jones gushed. “It was contact, it was everything I liked seeing. (Damieon George) stood out. He moved from right tackle to guard this year. He was able to move on his feet lightly, and make sure there was paths for the running back. Right before they went to the scrimmage, they did one-on-ones. Just them dominating and not letting the quarterback get touched.”

Recruiting summary

Jones is rated four stars and ranked No. 214 overall and No. 18 at his position nationally according to the On3 industry ranking while Rivals has him rated at three stars and ranked No. 34 at his position nationally; the 247Sports composite has no data for him yet.

On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine gives the Gators a strong 72.7% chance of landing Jones early on, followed by the UCF Knights (5.8%), Florida Atlantic Owls (5.0%) and Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (4.1%).

The dynamic defender and versatile offensive player would be an exciting addition to a Wisconsin roster that returns a wealth of talent for 2024-25.

The unfortunate circumstance here is the timing. Wisconsin is set to play James Madison in the NCAA Tournament on Friday night and the college basketball world requires coaches and assistants to be recruiting after the transfer window opened on Monday.

Wisconsin first D-1 program to offer class of 2026 edge defender

Wisconsin football extended an offer to class of 2026 edge defender Tucker Ashford Tuesday evening.

The Badgers are Ashford’s first D-1 offer according to 247Sports. The Texas native is currently unranked on the recruiting service, though the 2026 recruiting cycle is still in its infancy.

Wisconsin now has 70 reported offers in the class of 2026. The 2025 cycle is just beginning to heat up with the summer months fast approaching, meaning it’ll be another year at least until many of the 2026 prospects verbally commit.

I am extremely blessed to say I just received a D1 Football Offer from the University of Wisconsin. #GoBadgers!! @car20ruiz @CoachBGunn @RossRoby1 @FWCathletics @_maximus347 @Coach_Mitch_ pic.twitter.com/1tiZwNWzUu

The 2025 and 2026 cycles are important for Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell as he continues to work to craft his program. The Badgers impressively finished the 2024 cycle at No. 25 in the nation with a blue chip ratio of 50%. Fickell will need to keep up those marks in 2025 and 2026 for the Badgers to start sniffing the top of the Big Ten.

Wisconsin football offers fast-rising class of 2025 wide receiver

Wisconsin extended an offer to class of 2025 wide receiver Bryson Jones on Monday.

Jones is currently unranked on 247Sports, though is a three-star recruit according to Rivals. He has an impressive offer list, headlined by Tennessee, Texas A&M, Penn State, Oklahoma State, Utah, Arkansas and Baylor.

Jones is one of the numerous offers handed out by Wisconsin’s new wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton. As is the case with many top recruits in the nation, the Badgers will need to battle with some of the top SEC powers to earn his commitment.

Wisconsin offers highly-touted 2025 running back from New Jersey

Wisconsin extended an offer to four-star class of 2025 running back John Forster on Friday.

Forster is 247Sports’ No. 303 player in the class of 2025, No. 26 running back and No. 9 recruit from his home state of New Jersey.

The highly-touted running back also holds offers from schools including Rutgers, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State, Pittsburgh and Tennessee.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 9 nationally with seven commitments. The Badgers took three running backs in the class of 2024, plus another from the transfer portal, so I’d expect more scarcity in the 2025 group.

Florida making a good impression on this 4-star TE

Florida offered Luka Gilbert on Feb. 7 and the Gators’ coaching staff has made a solid first impression on the four-star tight end.

The latest recruit to be linked with Florida is Lakota West (Cincinnati, Ohio) tight end [autotag]Luka Gilbert[/autotag], according to Corey Bender of Gators Online.

Gilbert is a 6-foot-7-inch, 242-pound behemoth who is being pursued by Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State among other Power Five programs. The Buckeyes are considered the favorites to land the in-state recruit, but there is still plenty of time for other teams to jump out in front.

That’s exactly what Florida is trying to do. Tight ends coach Russ Callaway offered Gilbert over the phone on Feb. 7. The hope is to get him on campus during the spring, but Gilbert only mentioned Kentucky, Miami and Ohio State when listing his next stops.

The idea of playing for Florida still intrigues Gilbert, though.

“It’s definitely up there,” Gilbert said of UF. “Obviously, it’s an SEC school and that’s the best conference in the country. That’s big for me, playing against top competition and iron sharpens iron.”

Gilbert is a consensus four-star recruit, ranked the highest by On3 at No. 64 overall in the class of 2025. The On3 industry ranking, which considers all four major recruiting services, puts Gilbert at No. 147 nationally and No. 8 among tight ends.

Wisconsin offers a 2025 interior offensive lineman from Kentucky

Wisconsin extended an offer to three-star class of 2025 interior offensive lineman Isaac Sowells on Monday.

Sowells is 247Sports’ 694 player in the class of 2025, No. 54 interior offensive lineman and No. 5 recruit from his home state of Kentucky.

The 6-foot, 2-inch, 293-pound lineman also holds offers from notable programs including in-state Kentucky and Louisville, Duke, Indiana, Miami, NC State, Penn State, South Carolina, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 9 in the nation with seven commitments. Luke Fickell’s class is without a blue-chip recruit at the moment, that after finishing the 2024 cycle with a blue-chip ratio of 50% (11 four-stars of 22 total commitments).

The Badgers have work left to do as the 2025 cycle heats up during the summer months.

Gators offer 4-star 2025 tight end out of Midwest

Florida officially joined the recruiting race for four-star tight end Brock Schott on Wednesday by extending him an offer.

The latest class of 2025 recruit to pick up an offer from the Florida Gators is Leo (Indiana) tight end [autotag]Brock Schott[/autotag], according to Gators Online.

The Gators offered him on Wednesday over the phone, and Schott is keeping the door open for Billy Napier and Co. Tight ends coach Russ Callaway is the coach tasked with recruiting him, but the relationship is still in the development phase.

“I really liked the message of what they want to do with their program,” Schott said. “The main message is they really want to start building a relationship with me.”

Schott says he needs to do more research before determining where the Gators stand in his recruitment. He has several SEC offers, including Kentucky, Missouri and Texas A&M.

Florida last hosted Schott in the spring and the expectation is to get him back on campus in the coming months. No dates are set just yet, though.

Schott is a consensus four-star recruit, who is ranked the highest by On3 at No. 99 overall in the class of 2025. The On3 industry ranking, which considers all four major services, puts him at No. 174 overall and No. 9 among tight ends in his class.
