Three-star offensive lineman has Badgers in his final three

Three-star class of 2024 offensive lineman Ronan O’Connell has Wisconsin in his final three schools.

Three-star class of 2024 offensive lineman Ronan O’Connell has Wisconsin in his final three schools. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound athlete from Franklin, Tennessee has narrowed his list to Tennessee, Clemson and Wisconsin.

The Badgers continue to churn out great offensive linemen year in and year out, so if O’Connell decided to head to Madison, he’d be making a strong decision for his professional chances. Two 2022 Badger offensive lineman are now on NFL teams with Joe Tippmann (2nd round, NYJ) and Tyler Beach (UDFA, HOU) making the step up.

At this point, Wisconsin has already earned the commitment of three-star offensive tackle Derek Jensen (Hartland, WI) as well as quarterback Mabrey Mettauer and tight ends Grant Stec and Rob Booker on the offensive side.

Cory has received 21 Division I offers, including three from within the Big Ten. Penn State and Pittsburgh have offered, likely making them the early favorites, but Wisconsin is certainly an strong option.

Head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo have already reeled in four offensive recruits for 2024. Four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer (The Woodlands, Texas), four-star tight end Grant Stec (Algonquin, Illinois), three-star tight end Robert Booker (Waunakee, Wisconsin) and three-star offensive tackle Derek Jensen (Hartland, Wisconsin) are the four who have committed.

Wisconsin offered Logan Brooking, a 6-foot-4 class of 2025 tight end from Savannah, Georgia on Wednesday. As a sophomore in high school, he still has two more years before he’d make potentially make the leap to the collegiate level.

Brooking has now received nine Division 1 offers, with the Badgers joining Michigan State in offering him from within the Big Ten. Considering the historical lack of supreme talent at the tight end position for Wisconsin, it appears head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo along with the scouting staff are trying to change that narrative.

They’ve offered many tight ends in recent months as well as securing the commitments of four-star Grant Stec (Algonquin, Illinois) and three-star Robert Booker (Waunakee, Wisconsin) at the position for the class of 2024.

Wisconsin offered Isaiah Thomas, a 6-foot-2 class of 2024 safety from Clearwater, Florida on Monday. The junior still has one more season of football at Clearwater Academy International before he’d potentially make the leap to a collegiate program.

Thomas has now received 27 Division 1 offers, including home state options Florida State and Florida, where he would typically favor. That being said, with the addition of Luke Fickell at head coach and Mike Tressel at defensive coordinator, Wisconsin has become a more attractive location for defensive recruits.

As of right now, the Badgers have only secured three class of 2024 commitments, all of which are on the offensive side. Four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer (The Woodlands, Texas), four-star tight end Grant Stec (Algonquin, Illinois) and three-star tight end Robert Booker (Waunakee, Wisconsin).

Wisconsin offers 6-foot-6 tight end from Kansas

The Badgers offered DaSaahan Brame, a class of 2025 tight end from Derby, Kansas on Friday.

The Badgers offered DaSaahan Brame, a class of 2025 tight end from Derby, Kansas on Friday. The 6-foot-6, 225-pound athlete still has two more seasons of football at Derby High School before he’d possibly make the leap to the collegiate level.

Considering the fact that he’s only a sophomore in high school, his impressive size could become even more eye-popping as he continues to develop. To this point, Brame has received 11 Division 1 offers, including Wisconsin, Michigan and Penn State within the Big Ten.

With head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo now at the helm, the Badgers have brought in a plethora of offensive weapons for the future, with all three of the team’s class of 2024 commitments coming on that side of the ball.

As of right now, Wisconsin has secured commitments from four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer (The Woodlands, Texas), four-star tight end Grant Stec (Algonquin, Illinois) and three-star tight end Robert Booker (Waunakee, Wisconsin) for 2024.

Wisconsin offers class of 2025 tight end

The Badgers offered Brock Schott, a 6-foot-3, 205 pound tight end from Leo, Indiana on Friday.

The Badgers offered Brock Schott, a 6-foot-3, 205 pound tight end from Leo, Indiana on Friday. Schott still has two more years of football at Leo High School before he’d join a college program as a member of the class of 2025.

Although he doesn’t carry a star rating, the tight end has now received three Division 1 offers, with Wisconsin coming in as the first Power Five school to offer him. With four-star tight end Grant Stec (Algonquin, Illinois) and three-star tight end Robert Booker (Waunakee, Wisconsin) already joining the team in 2023, the Badgers have done well recruiting the position under Luke Fickell.

Due to the fact that he’s a member of the class of 2025, there will likely be plenty more interested programs by the time Schott makes a college decision.

Tysean Griffin, a three-star athlete from Chicago announced his top 10 teams Wednesday, which the Badgers were a part of.

Tysean Griffin, a three-star athlete from Chicago announced his top 10 teams Wednesday, which the Badgers were a part of. The 5-foot-11 class of 2024 player has played both offense and defense in high school, logging snaps at wide receiver, running back and cornerback.

Considering the duel-threat abilities of Griffin, it’s hard to project where he’d contribute in college, whether offense, defense or both, but he’ll find a spot if he chooses Madison. The additions of Luke Fickell at head coach, Phil Longo at offensive coordinator and Mike Tressel at defensive coordinator this offseason have fortified the Badgers as a recruit destination.

So far, Wisconsin has brought in three recruits for the class of 2024, four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer (The Woodlands, Texas), four-star tight end Grant Stec (Algonquin, Illinois) and three-star tight end Robert Booker (Waunakee, Wisconsin).
